NI attorney general outlines abortion amendment concerns
Northern Ireland’s attorney general has questioned whether a move to allow for abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities is compatible with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In a letter seen by the BBC, John Larkin QC wrote that providing for a criminal law exception for fatal foetal abnormality, as proposed by this amendment, gives unborn children diagnosed with such a disability with much less protection under the law of NI than those without such a disability.
