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.
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
