the Scottish government had already offered FREE abortions to NI women ,when people hear about the abortion laws in NI they automatically think its because of the catholic church.....I've had a few friends who were shocked when the truth came out that the DUP are every bit as backward and want to Ireland in the dark ages .

I've always known that women from Ireland had to come to the UK for abortions, and I vaguely knew that women in NI had restricted access to abortions, but what I was totally ignorant of was that NI women had to pay for the privilege if they came to Britain for the procedure!

I'm embarrassed by my ignorance and angry on their behalf. angry
