Decision time - will Assembly vote to widen the availability of abortion in NI?

MLAs will be voting as early as next week on whether to change N Ireland's abortion law. That's a very big moment for our politicians. Abortion legislation here dates back to the 19th century. But next week, the crunch decision is whether the law should be widened to allow abortions in cases of fatal fetal abnormalities. That means cases where doctors decide the unborn baby has no chance of survival.

Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson is one of those proposing the law change Marion Woods is from anti-abortion group Life NI
