FPA launches new post pregnancy counselling service

Diana Johnson MP and a cross-party coalition of MPs from five UK political parties will today launch a 10 Minute Rule Bill to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales and Northern Ireland.

Conservative MPs Anna Soubry, Huw Merriman and Nicky Morgan have travelled to Northern Ireland for a series of meetings that will help push forward reform to Northern Ireland’s near-total ban on abortion.

Judicial Review begins in case of NI mother who bought abortion medication for her young daughter, adding to pressure on Westminster to legislate on abortion ban.

Sexual health charity FPA and Amnesty International have welcomed the launch of an inquiry by the Women and Equalities Committee on abortion in Northern Ireland.
