Draft Isle of Man abortion bill put out to public consultation
7 August 2017
A draft bill which proposes changes to Manx abortion law has been put out to public consultation.
The Abortion Reform Bill would allow women to request an abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy and loosen restrictions on having one later.
Abortions on the Isle of Man can only be legally carried out if the pregnancy is the result of rape or because of concerns over a woman's mental health.
