British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has ruled out any legislative diktat from Westminster [1] that would impose a liberal abortion law on the North. She spoke as hundreds of pro-choice activists vowed to hit Northern Ireland like a “seismic wave” [2] as they stepped up their bid for change with a rally in Belfast on Monday [3]. Theresa May’s official spokesman said on Monday that abortion was a devolved matter on which politicians at Westminster should not legislate. “It is important to recognise that the people of Northern Ireland are entitled to their own process which is run by elected politicians. Our focus is restoring a democratically accountable devolved government in Northern Ireland so that locally accountable politicians can make decisions on behalf of the public they represent,” the spokesman said.
