Abortion law change row - commentators and callers debate legal move #BBCNolan

Justice Minister David Ford is today holding the first in a series of meetings with church leaders over his plan to change Northern Ireland's abortion law. The Minister is proposing that abortion be permitted in cases of lethal fetal abnormality - that's where the unborn baby is deemed to have no chance of survival after birth. The abortion law here dates back to the 19th century. The public consultation on the proposed change here closes on 17th January. It's also seeking views on whether the law should be changed to allow abortion in cases of rape and incest. Joel speaks to commentator Seamus Close, Peter Lynas from Evangelical Alliance and Grainne Teggart from Amnesty International
