Northern Ireland's abortion law breaches UK's human rights commitments, court rules
Northern Ireland's strict abortion law breaches the UK's human rights commitments, the High Court in Belfast has ruled.
Abortion is illegal in Northern Ireland unless there is a direct threat to the mother's life.
It means women have to travel to Great Britain for the procedure to avoid breaking the law.
Sarah Ewart was refused a termination in 2013 and had to make that journey after being told her baby had a fatal defect.
Once again we see the corrosive affect of life in a theocracy. Keep church and state separate.
