Northern Ireland Assembly rejection of abortion shows
what’s possible when issue is debated fairly


Vigil held outside Stormont last year standing against abortion being imposed in Northern Ireland.

The Pro Life Campaign has warmly welcomed this evening’s vote in the Northern Ireland Assembly rejecting the abortion regulations imposed on Northern Ireland from Westminster.

A spokesperson for the Pro Life Campaign said: “The result shows what can happen when the political establishment doesn’t censor debate and allows the pro-life side to get a fair hearing. The heart-breaking personal testimonies of women who regret their abortions and the intervention of people like disability rights campaigner Heidi Crowter all helped influence the outcome.

“Following this evening’s vote, Westminster cannot justifiably continue to try and impose abortion on Northern Ireland. It is clear from the 46:40 vote that this devolved issue should be decided by Northern Ireland’s elected representatives and not the UK parliament.”
