MHKs 'trying to derail' new abortion laws

Monday, 5 March 2018 09:06

By Jason Roberts @ChpsChsGrvy

Campaigners backing changes to the Island's abortion laws say they're disappointed MHKs are trying to derail new legislation.

The Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation says 60 amendments to Dr Alex Allinson's bill will be discussed in the House of Keys tomorrow.

CALM says one put forward by Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw would redefine the World Health Organisation's definition of what health means.

And it says changes backed by Chief Minister Howard Quayle would remove, restrict and limit women's choices.
