Note that the liberalization of NI's law came after considerable intervention from the national government. Left to itself it's not clear to me that NI would have changed it's law, which was called "one of the most restrictive in the world". | |

| Apr 23, 2022 at 13:35 | comment | added | Steve Melnikoff | In paragraph 3: (1) England does not have its own parliament; the UK Parliament continues to legislate for it (which makes sense, given that England accounts for 84% of the UK's population). (2) Abortion was indeed restricted in Northern Ireland - until 2020. | |
