The number of women from Northern Ireland choosing to abort their unborn children has dramatically increased since Westminster imposed radical abortion legislation on the six counties last year.
As of June 11, the Department of Health had received 1,624 notifications of abortions, despite the lack of a full and formal commissioning of the law.
A further 371 women travelled to Britain in the 12 months ending March 2021. While that is a decrease from 1,014 who travelled for the procedure over the previous year, the overall figures are far higher.
Abortion figures in the South have also jumped since the introduction of a liberal abortion law, even allowing for the number of Irish women who travelled to England for terminations.
