Off-Island anti-abortion campaigners to meet Tynwald members

Tynwald members are to hear from off-Island anti-abortion campaigners next week, as politicians consider changing the law.

Professor Patricia Casey, who campaigns against easing abortion laws in Ireland, and Liz Parsons of Life UK have been invited to give a presentation by David Anderson MLC.

On Monday, they'll offer what described as "another perspective" on abortion.

Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson is bringing forward a private members' bill about abortion - a recent consultation showed around 90 per cent of people backed change.
