The Westminster government will set out further steps this week to force the full commissioning of abortion on Northern Ireland

In March, Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis took new powers allowing him to override the Assembly and force it to act.

Westminster’s abortion law was implemented in Northern Ireland in March of last year. But the full commissioning of abortion has been stalled due to disagreement within the five-party executive. In May, proposals from Health Minister Robin Swann on commissioning of abortion were blocked by the DUP.

According to the latest figures from Stormont's Department of Health, 1,556 babies have been killed by abortion in Northern Ireland since March 2020.

Brandon Lewis and the Westminster Government are hell-bent on forcing their abortion proposals on Northern Ireland before the summer recess of Parliament on Thursday (22 July). They even have the audacity to claim their plans to kill more babies is “required to uphold legal and human rights duties on Northern Ireland”. The Westminster Government has complete contempt, not only for the human rights of unborn babies, but also for the principles of democracy and devolution in Northern Ireland.

But Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance have said they would support more abortion being imposed on Northern Ireland by Westminster.

However, the hypocrisy of these parties has been exposed in their reactions to the Westminster Government's proposals to override the Assembly again in dealing with the legacy of the Troubles.

SDLP Minister Nichola Mallon called for assembly members (MLAs) to return from their summer break to discuss Westminster's Troubles proposals today (20 July)

There was no such call for a return from their summer break to discuss Westminster’s plan to kill more babies in Northern Ireland.

The Troubles Legacy motion before MLAs today, proposed by the SDLP, rejects the government's proposals and states they "do not serve the interests, wishes or needs of victims and survivors nor the requirements of truth, justice, accountability, acknowledgement and reconciliation".

Ms Mallon said she hoped assembly members would come together to say "very clearly that we do not allow - we do not give our consent - to Boris Johnson and his government to do this to victims and survivors of the troubles."

However, she gives her full consent to Boris Johnson and his government's plans to kill babies in Northern Ireland.

TAKE ACTION

Contact your MLA and ask them to reject the Westminster government's abortion proposals because they do not serve the interests, wishes or needs of the people of Norther Ireland, nor the requirements of human rights – the right to life - of babies in the womb.

Tell your MLAs to say to Westminster very clearly that the people of Northern Ireland do not allow - we do not give our consent - to Boris Johnson and his government to do this to unborn babies in Northern Ireland.
