Victory for Northern anti-abortionists

ANTI-ABORTIONISTS in the North won a major victory yesterday after a British High Court judge dismissed a bid to introduce termination guidelines there.

Mr Justice Kerr rejected an attempt by the Family Planning Association (FPA) to force health chiefs into setting out the circumstances in which abortions were legal.

He said: “None of the grounds in which the judicial review has been sought has been made out. The application must be dismissed.”
