- Decision
- Carried
This Conference notes that women in Northern Ireland live under some of the most restrictive abortion legislation in Europe. They are denied access to abortion information, advice, and services that are available to women in the rest of the UK.
This Conference believes that these barriers to reproductive rights are a class issue and barriers to full social, economic, political and workplace equality in Northern Ireland.
This Conference supports the demand of Alliance for Choice, for free, safe, and legal abortion in Northern Ireland.
This Conference calls on the National Women’s Committee to
1) continue to campaign for free, safe, and legal abortion information, advice, and services on an equal basis for women in Northern Ireland;
2) seek to work with Alliance for Choice and other campaigns in Northern Ireland which share our aims on abortion rights to examine what support it can offer to improve provision of existing abortion information and advice.
