Belfast: abortion  challenge

Royal Courts of Justice, Belfast

Lawyers for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) have told the High Court in Belfast that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland exceeded his authority when he ordered Stormont ministers to roll out late-term abortion across the Province.

John Larkin QC, former Attorney General for Northern Ireland, spoke for SPUC in its application for a judicial review of the abortion regulations introduced earlier this year by Brandon Lewis, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. It is expected that the court’s final decision may take months.
