The Supreme Court will decide on the matters of abortion in the cases of fatal foetal abnormality, rape or incest. Anyone who still thinks that it is likely to overturn the ban on abortion simply isn't listening. Even a favourable ruling will not see NI women stopping travelling abroad for abortions. Waiting for their decision is therefore a red herring. A delaying tactic even, depending on your motivation. It's the answer to nothing. And while we wait fruitlessly for their decision, the vast majority of NI women who need abortions for reasons other than those very restricted circumstances will continue to suffer.
