Please ACT Now: Tell the NI Assembly to REPEAL Section 9 ahead of debate tomorrow

Dear friend of Precious Life,

The Northern Ireland Assembly will debate a motion on abortion at Stormont tomorrow (Tuesday 2nd June) which seeks to outlaw disability-selective abortion. The motion is part of the DUP's effort to challenge Northern Ireland's abortion law, and includes proposing a ban on disability-selective abortion.

The motion, some of which relates to Down syndrome, put forward by the DUP, “welcomes the important intervention of disability campaigner Heidi Crowter and rejects the imposition of abortion legislation which extends to all non-fatal disabilities, including Down syndrome”.

The DUP motion

The DUP motion, which is in the name of Assembly members Paul Givan, Joanne Bunting, Michelle McIlveen and Pam Cameron, seeks to challenge the abortion legislation passed at Westminster.

If passed, the motion would not have the ability to repeal the law. However, Precious Life welcome the motion as it would shine a much-needed spotlight on the extremity of the Westminster-imposed abortion law, and opens up a vital discussion on this radical abortion regime at Stormont.

Every Life Counts

While the motion is a positive step forward, it is vital that pro-life people in Northern Ireland ask their MLAs to not only support this motion but to REPEAL Section 9 in full. Repealing Europe's most extreme abortion law in its entirety is the only way to protect every unborn child.

Repeal Section 9

Please use this vital opportunity to write to your MLA NOW to ask them to REPEAL Section 9 in full and to stand up for life in tomorrow's debate at Stormont.  We must ensure that EVERY unborn child is protected. 

Please find the contact details for your MLAs here:
