Written submission from a member of the public (ANI0439)
"My personal experience affected by abortion laws in Northern Ireland: Specialists Nurse . My experience is that
the lack of medical services in NI that choose
to terminate has an adverse and damaging
affect on those and their immediate
. It is so traumatic for the clients to make
the decision to terminate without having to
travel to the mainland to access services.
I have seen clients totally traumatised and
In a large percentage of clients suicidal. I personally struggle with clients traveling to
the mainland Where is my duty of care.
My friends/family/colleagues view on abortion: Not all my family accept my views.
An example of how views on abortion have moved on: The younger generation are more open to choice
What should the UK govt. do?: Totally agree
Why is devolution not a barrier?: Uphold human rights ."
