Government publishes guidance for healthcare professionals on abortion law in Northern Ireland

Oct 08, 2019, 11:17 AM

No criminal charges brought against those who have an abortion, or against health care professionals who provide and assist in an abortion. Abortions in cases of fatal fetal abnormality will be allowed. Just some of the guidance, from the government for healthcare professionals on abortion law in Northern Ireland. It sets out what will happen following changes to the law here after 21 October, if the NI Executive is not restored. Stephen got reaction from Grainne Teggart from Amnesty International and Dr Anne McCloskey, deputy leader of Aontú.
