Campaigners welcome falling numbers
A pro-life pressure group says an apparent drop in demand for abortions demonstrates the effectiveness of Manx law.
Humanity and Equality in Abortion Reform (HEAR) has welcomed news that fewer women are traveling off-Island for the procedure - down to 88 last year from over 100 in 2015.
Pro-choice campaigners CALM claim the figures do not account for a growing number of women turning to illegal home abortions.
But HEAR spokesperson Sue Richardson says evidence is needed to back that up:
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
New board members sought for abattoir
Controversial local authority legislation debate deferred to end of March
Island offers consumer fuel protection advice
Ballabeg man declares intention to stand in 2026 General Election
