The Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts says abortion pills are safe and recognised by the World Health Organization as life-saving medicines. Dr Gomperts is a women's rights activist from the Netherlands.
In 1999 she founded Women on Waves, allowing women living in countries with strict abortion laws to have a termination by boarding a clinic ship which would sail into neutral waters where Dutch laws would apply. But she has encountered strong opposition from pro-life groups and governments - including facing down warships when her yacht approached Portugal. Watch this video from the BBC for more on the story.
