Discrimination and denial film – Time for change
Discrimination and Denial: Abortion Law in Northern Ireland is a powerful short film exposing what happens to women in Northern Ireland with a crisis pregnancy.
Premiered in Belfast on 15 June 2009, Discrimination and Denial features interviews with leading Northern Irish health professionals and politicians.
The film is a hard hitting expose illustrating the difficulties not just for women, but for health professionals trying to provide quality healthcare in a state that doesn’t offer women a legal and safe abortion.
Press release: FPA hosts film premier on abortion in Northern Ireland.
Read about the debate in Parliament about abortion law in Northern Ireland.
“One of the most shameful political acts is that the rights of pregnant women in Northern Ireland have not been addressed. To rectify this will doubtless take courage, but to leave this wrong unattended will be an act of cowardice on the part of the entire political class.”
