Campaigners who want to change the Island's abortion laws say they're delighted a set of proposals will now be considered by parliament.
Earlier this week the House of Keys voted to give Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson permission to bring a Private Member's Bill on the topic forward.
The aim is to update laws which currently mean women have to go off-Island for terminations.
Samantha Heard is from CALM - the Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation - she says there's still some work to do but the first hurdle has been cleared:
