What happens next?
The result of the vote on the motion does not mean the law in Northern Ireland will change. But it does increase the pressure on MPs and Peers at Westminster who will shortly be voting on The Abortion (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2020.
Please pray MPs and Peers will reject the regulations and do contact your MP and ask them to do all they can to persuade colleagues at Westminster to reject the UK Government's extreme abortion regulations for Northern Ireland.
