MHK queries Island's abortion figures since law change

How many women have terminated their pregnancies on the Island since laws surrounding abortion were modernised?

That's the question on the lips of Onchan MHK Julie Edge, who's posed a query for written reply.

She's asked Health and Social Care Claire Christian about how many abortions were carried out in the Island each year since the Abortion Reform Act was brought in.

The new laws came into force in 2019 after campaigners won a battle to update the legislation.
