Abortion safe zones debated in Keys

Delay while details are worked out

After over two hours of debate in the House of Keys, an amendment to the Abortion Reform Bill will be deferred for two weeks.

It focused on access zones for premises where abortion services are provided to protect women from potential harassment.

Issues about human rights, data protection and how it would all work were raised by members.

Abort67 has staged regular protests against the new bill with posters on display with images of foetuses.

Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey says there has been criticism the pictures are too graphic to be seen in public:-
