Why are anti-abortion protestors continuing to show graphic images on the Island?

That's the question on the lips of Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse, who'll raise the issue in the House of Keys next week.

Mr Moorhouse will ask Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey why Abort67 campaigners are allowed to show offensive images in areas such as Castletown square.

His questions comes after Douglas MHK Ann Corlett asked if the Isle of Man could outlaw public displays of graphic material in January.
