This week, a 21-year-old woman in Belfast was given a suspended prison sentence for taking an abortion pill. Meanwhile, a mother faces the prospect of up to life imprisonment for procuring abortion pills for her pregnant teenage daughter.
There is a near-total ban on abortion in Northern Ireland – even where the woman is pregnant as a result of rape or incest, or where the foetus will not survive. This needs to stop.
