Campaigners say the finishing post's now in sight for reforms to the Island's abortion laws.
Yesterday, the House of Keys passed three amendments to the Abortion Reform Bill which is making its way through Tynwald.
After it returns to Legislative Council, it'll next be considered by the whole court - and if it passes both hurdles, it could enter law later this year.
The Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation says it's pleased with the progress politicians have made, and is now confident the Isle of Man will be the first place in the British Isles to decriminalise abortion.
