Time for change in Northern Ireland

Time for change in Northern Ireland

Help us fight for all UK women's right to choose

Women in Northern Ireland are denied the same rights to abortion as women in England, Scotland and Wales.

Despite being UK citizens and taxpayers they do not have the same access to a legal, safe abortion. They are refused an abortion even if:

  • they've been raped
  • they've suffered incest
  • they've been given a diagnosis of fetal abnormality.

And under the current law women face life in prison for having an abortion. Help our campaign for change in Northern Ireland.

Polly Toynbee“We have to end the discrimination against women in Northern Ireland which as citizens of the UK, forbids them from having an abortion in their own home country.”
