Handmaids plan Tynwald demonstration

The Island's highest profile abortion campaigners will be holding a demonstration today as Tynwald members hear from a UK anti-abortion group.

Handmaids Isle of Man, who shot to fame during a similar protest on Tynwald Day, will gather outside the Tynwald building at midday.

Members are due to hear from representatives of Life UK, who've been invited to give a presentation by David Anderson MLC.

The Handmaids say they'll be holding a respectful silent protest which will be streamed live via their Facebook page.
