Three cheers for the Moroccan Navy!:

A Dutch campaign group says its ship offering women medical abortions has been prevented by authorities from entering the Moroccan port of Smir.

The group, Women on Waves, provides abortions and advice from boats anchored in international waters near countries where abortion is illegal.

The group’s leader, Rebecca Gomperts, told the BBC it planned to launch “a surprise” in response.

She said the entire harbour was blocked and no-one was being allowed to enter.
