The number of abortions taking place in Northern Ireland has doubled in the three years since the law there was made more permissive, according to pro-life group, Both Lives Matter.
The organisation has obtained figures from the Department of Health show that 5,648 terminations have been performed in the North since the new abortion regulations were laid out in March 2020 up to May 23rd of this year.
The number of abortions taking place in the South has also soared since the Republic liberalised its abortion law in January 2019 following the abortion referendum of the previous year.
