Abortion Rights in Northern Ireland

Lodged by Mark Ruskell (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 0 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament believes that access to healthcare, including reproductive healthcare, is a fundamental human right; understands that the vast majority of people on the island of Ireland, including 65% in Northern Ireland, support abortion rights for all; believes that Northern Ireland, and therefore the UK, is severely lagging behind the rest of Europe and going against international good practice by restricting access to healthcare for some of its citizens, and calls on the UK and Scottish governments to do all they can to ensure abortion rights are secured in Northern Ireland.
