Isle of Man: Launch of Humanity & Equality in Abortion Reform campaign

Aug 30th, 2016

A campaign has been launched on the Isle of Man (CALM - Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation) which is currently pushing for a law similar to the 1967 Abortion Act to replace their 1995 Termination of Pregnancy Act. While the current 1995 Termination of Pregnancy Act does allow for terminations, it includes a number of safeguards that are not included in the British 1967 Act.

So what happens in the future on the Isle of Man is important in terms of saving unborn children and women from abortion.

A counter campaign - the HEAR (Humanity & Equality in Abortion Reform) campaign is being put forward on the island.

The campaign will be launched on 1 September with the launch event featuring spokesperson for the HEAR campaign, Hannah Grove, Peter D Williams from Right to Life and Lord Alton of Liverpool.
