Tattie Bogle	BS: Irish referendum (165* d)	RE: BS: Irish referendum	29 May 18
What puzzles me in all this is that the existing David Steel Abortion Act of 1967 came about long before there was any devolved government, and yet the Act applied to England Scotland and Wales, but not Northern Ireland, so how come? Was it political and religious opposition then? However, Scotland has always had a different legal system for some things from that of England and Wales, and yet was also covered by the Act. There have been some amendments to the Act since, but these again affected England, Scotland and Wales. But we are talking about over 50 years of N Ireland doing things differently from the rest of what is supposed to be the UK.
