The Workers Party has welcomed this morning’s High Court Ruling that abortion legislation in Northern Ireland is in breach of human rights law but has expressed regret that this decision had to come through the courts rather than via the Assembly.
“As a society we must support a woman’s right to choose and recognise that women have the right to control their own bodies, including their fertility, and to pursue all reproductive choices. This is fundamental to any reasonable concept of gender equality”, the Party statement said.
