Concerns about protection for unborn children
MHKs are being asked to consider putting abortion reforms on hold to allow a more in-depth examination of the issue.
East Douglas member Chris Robertshaw believes a select committee should be formed to assess measures which received their first reading in the House of Keys yesterday (Tuesday).
The proposals include allowing women a termination up to 14 weeks into their pregnancy and up to 24 weeks if there are serious health concerns or social grounds why a baby shouldn’t be born.
Mr Robertshaw says the debate so far has been divided into two groups.
