Meanwhile, the high court in Belfast has called the church inspired abortion laws there an infringement of human rights. The Stormont government had said prior to the ruling that they have no plans to reform the law. Now it appears they will have to look again if they are to remain signatories to The International Convention on Human Rights. As they cannot opt out of that (Westminster decision) it looks like women who have been raped won't have to travel to England, Scotland or Wales any more to receive the care they need.

As Musket said, religious nonsense is not above real law.
