Upper chamber to consider Bill
The Island's bishop is being challenged to make his voice heard when it comes to the debate on abortion reform.
MHKs voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Abortion Reform Bill's third reading in the House of Keys yesterday (TUESDAY).
It'll now be considered by the Manx parliament's upper chamber, of which the Bishop of Sodor and Man sits.
Dr Jules Gomes - who opposes abortion - is keen for Bishop Peter Eagles to speak out:
