Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson says changing the Island's abortion law will end discrimination against poorer women.
In the House of Keys yesterday he was given permission to introduce a Private Member's Bill with a view to updating the Island's 53-year-old laws.
It wasn't all plain sailing however as Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw asked for the proposals to be discussed by a select committee - MHKs voted against his amendment.
During the debate Dr Allinson said the current law has led to a two-tier system:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
