Official abortion statistics are hiding the "real picture of harm" created by the Isle of Man's tough abortion laws.
That's the message from the Abortion Support Network - figures released by the UK Department of Health show that 105 people travelled to England or Wales for a termination last year.
It's an increase of 15 on the previous year - the figures only take into account people who gave accurate Manx addresses leading to fears that there could be many more travelling across but falling under the radar:
That's network director Mara Clarke - she believes the restrictions here need to change:
The Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation group - which is trying to change our legislation - will discuss the statistics at a public meeting at the Manx Legion in Douglas tomorrow night.
