Abortion petition wants Biblical teachings used in schools

A woman who wants the government to look again at abortion laws says the Island might be able to use the Bible to help develop babies.

Jenni Quiggin's petition for redress of grievance was presented during this year's Tynwald Day ceremony and has now been ruled in order.

She's asked for the Abortion Reform Act 2019 to be reviewed, saying women should be encouraged to have their baby and give it away for adoption.

And she says the Island can promote life to school pupils using bible verses such as Psalm 139 or John chapter 10 verse 10.
