F 486 contra RU 486

Plano aproximado do F486 "Baptista de Andrade", o navio de guerra que está a bloquear o caminho do Borndiep. Saberá a Marinha Portuguesa que a Mifepristone, a "pílula abortiva", é também conhecida por RU 486? Estarão a troçar de nós?

ARMAMENTO

1 single mount cannon x 100 mm Mod.68

2 single mounts cannon x 40 mm Boffors L/70

2 triple mounts 32 torpedo launchers MK

1 tube for depth charges MK 9

Achamos isto muito intimidante.

Na verdade, a Marinha podia ter enviado apenas uma pequena lancha. Não estamos cá para infringir qualquer lei. Não estamos cá para lutar contra o exército. Estamos em Portugal para ajudar as mulheres de Portugal.
Talvez o Sr. Paulo Portas devesse ponderar a chamada desta embarcação extremamente dispendiosa e passar a disponibilizar o dinheiro dos contribuintes portugueses ao Ministério da Saúde para que fosse usado na educação sexual?

Em Portugal, o número de abortos é de 1 por cada 4 mulheres. Esta taxa é 150% mais alta que na Holanda (1:6). Estes são praticados ilegalmente ou praticados em Espanha. O custo dos mesmos é de, pelo menos, 500 euros.
Na Holanda, os abortos são legais e livres, o estado assume o pagamento dos mesmos. No entanto nós (Holandeses) temos apenas 2/3 dos casos...

Como é possível?
