Grassroots Conservatives against Govt’s push to impose abortion on NI
More than two thirds of Conservative councillors believe legislation on abortion should be a matter for Northern Ireland’s politicians to decide, a poll has revealed.
The ComRes poll of more than 500 Conservative councillors showed strong support for devolution, and the Northern Irish people’s right to make their own laws on abortion.
Support was particularly high among councillors from Scotland and Wales, with 86 per cent supporting the right of Northern Ireland to legislate on abortion.
