Dr Rebecca Gomperts, founder of Woman on Waves, speaks to the media in front of The Aurora, the Dutch medical ship docked in Sir John Rogerson's Quay on Dublin's River Liffey. Abortions will not be carried out on board the floating clinic, a spokeswoman for the organisers said. *While they had been inundated with calls from 80 pregnant Irish women, neither surgical nor medical abortions will be offered to them on board the 100ft former fishing trawler, said Cathleen O'Neill of Women on Waves Ireland.
