Official abortion statistics are hiding the "real picture of harm" created by the Isle of Man's tough abortion laws.
That's the message from the Abortion Support Network - figures released by the UK Department of Health show that 105 people travelled to England or Wales for a termination last year.

The Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation group - which is trying to change our legislation - will discuss the statistics at a public meeting at the Manx Legion in Douglas tomorrow night.
