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:
