Draft legislation to be drawn up
Draft legislation is being drawn up after MHKs voted in favour of debating abortion legislation in yesterday's (Tue) House of Keys sitting.
Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson was the driving force in introducing a private members bill to give Manx women similar rights to those in England, Scotland and Wales.
That move was supported by 21 votes to three - meaning modernising the law currently in place here can now be properly considered by the house.
At present, abortions are only permitted locally following rape, or on mental health grounds - Mr Allinson explains his proposals:
Summerland justice group welcomes Stardust verdict
Data breach an isolated incident says Manx Care
Castletown Commissioners want feedback from residents about southern amenity site
Hospitality bosses to attend 'call to arms' meeting
160 patients written to after medical records found in ex-Manx Care employee's home
Sole applicant elected to Andreas Parish Commissioners
