Abolish the abortion ban in Northern Ireland.
Women in Northern Ireland still do not have the right to terminate their own pregnancy, even if they were raped or the foetus has a fatal disability. Some women are performing their own abortions out of desperation, which can be extremely dangerous.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Your petition is about something that the Northern Ireland Assembly is responsible for. The UK Parliament is unable to legislate on matters which are devolved to Northern Ireland.
If you live in Northern Ireland and would like to send your petition to the Northern Ireland Assembly, you can find the contact details here:
