Video; A drone carrying abortion pills was flown into Northern Ireland in an act of solidarity

On Tuesday morning, a drone carrying abortion pills was flown from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland in an act of defiance and solidarity.   In both countries obtaining and taking abortion pills, which are on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines, are a criminal offence.    

As the drone landed in Narrow Water, County Down, in Northern Ireland, campaigners chanted the words: "Our bodies, our choice!"   Two campaigners who were not pregnant took mifepristone, the first pill administered by doctors during legal abortions, to show how safe it is.  "It is totally hypocritical for the state to deny women the right to choose," one campaigner said.
