We always knew the “100,000” people who didn’t get abortions in NI were mainly working class women, forced to give birth ‘cos they couldn’t get the money together to travel to England & pay for a private abortion. Today’s Dept of Health 2017 abortion stats show we were right 1/
"The latest @AmnestyNI poll suggests that 68% of Northern Irish people feel that that people should not be punished if they have an abortion" @MariaMillerUK#NowforNI
"I believe that this situation should not exist. The fact the at the same rights are not available to 1 in 4 parts of the UK is difficult to understand. Not even for fatal fetal abornalities, rape or incest" @MariaMillerUK#NowforNI
"The truth is in 2018 we still don't trust our own women. This is the one healthcare decision that no UK woman can make on her own. That's why the UN has called on us to Repeal these specific sections of law" @stellacreasy#NowforNI
Abortion is the most common procedure that women of reproductive age in our constituencies undergo - yet even today in 2018 it is shaped by this criminal legislation, to the direct detriment of the safety and dignity of all uk women. @stellacreasy#NowforNI
Marie Stopes UK is closing its independent clinic in #Belfast on December 8th, following the UK Government’s move to fund abortions for women from NI. Says it will focus its resources so that NI women can better access funded treatment in England.
