** Please act now to stop extreme abortion regulations being imposed on Northern Ireland by Parliament on Tuesday 12th May
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear SPUC supporter,
It was announced yesterday that this coming Tuesday (12 May), Parliament will vote on the Statutory Instrument that puts the Abortion (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2020 into effect.
These regulations, introduced in March 2020, impose one of the most extreme abortion regimes in Europe on the people of Northern Ireland.
Please your contact your MP ([link removed]) to ask him/her to vote against the Statutory Instrument, and to speak against the abortion regulations in Parliament.
Key points to make to your MP:
* These regulations permit abortion on demand and even abortion up to birth in some cases.
* Authority for abortion law in Northern Ireland should be returned to the people of Northern Ireland and their political representatives at Stormont.
* Seventy-nine per cent of the people in Northern Ireland who responded a public consultation on the regulations rejected the government’s proposals.
* According to the Attorney General for Northern Ireland, John Larkin, the minister "exceeded his powers" in introducing these abortion regulations.
* Mr Larkin also questioned whether the legislation gives adequate protection, under the European Convention on Human Rights, to the rights of those who oppose abortion on religious or philosophical grounds.
* The regulations lack all legitimacy and Boris Johnson should stop trying to force them on the people of Northern Ireland.
Please mail or phone your MP now asking him/her to speak out against this extreme abortion regime and to vote down the statutory instrument.
With all good wishes,
Antonia Tully
Director of Campaigns
