Criticism of terms used in reform bill
Unborn babies don't have rights - the Abortion Bill defends the mother.
That message from the man behind it, Dr Alex Allinson MHK.
The public consultation is in full swing and has already attracted a number of responses from residents, local organisations and international bodies.
One is UK campaign group 'We're All Equal' which is calling on the Manx public to reject proposals,,introducing abortion 'right through to birth' for the severely disabled foetus.
It's also pitched in to the debate criticising the use of terms in Dr Allinson's bill to describe individuals with disabilities, such as 'handicap' and 'defect'.
Dr Allinson gave this apology:
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Douglas man accused of causing death by dangerous driving committed
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
