Northern Ireland abortion law change: Two opposing views

Northern Ireland abortion law change: Two opposing views

In Northern Ireland, the laws on abortion and same-sex marriage are due to change at midnight on 21st October.

Abortion will be decriminalised while, under the same act, same-sex marriage will become legal.

To find out what the impact of legalising abortion will be, Emma Barnett talks to pro-choice campaigner Ashleigh Topley, who was not able to have a termination despite her baby having a fatal foetal abnormality, and Naomi Marsden from charity CARE who is anti-abortion.

All information correct as of 16:40 GMT on 21 October.
