Emma Campbell, Co-Chair of Alliance for Choice said:

“We are horrified that children as young as 12 are still being forced to travel to access medical services. This is indicative of the callousness with which the DUP and others blocking change in the defunct NI Assembly continue to treat us. We have reached a point where the stance of those unwilling to change is not supported by their voters or by any health or human rights bodies. More importantly, the stigma it creates is recognised as harming the physical and mental wellbeing of abortion seekers and their families. ”
