Calls to find common ground
The Island's Lord Bishop says 'some sort of agreement' must be reached between opposing sides of the abortion debate - but that will 'take as long as it takes'.
Speaking publicly for the first time on the issue, Peter Eagles said it was uncharted territory for the Island, and urged all to consider the 'depth of implication' in any change to the law.
He believes the most important points are providing support to those enduring unexpected or difficult circumstances, and tackling the 'root causes' of unwanted pregnancy.
Bishop Eagles told Manx Radio's Praise programme that there is still more to be discussed:
Onchan looks set for a full recount of General Election ballots
Treasury 'always looking' at whether additional support packages are needed
Onchan MHK confident in 'integrity' of those involved in election process
