A bid to exclude cases of fatal foetal impairment from abortion laws in Northern Ireland has fallen following a close vote at Stormont.

A private members bill, sponsored by DUP MLA Christopher Stalford, was designed to change abortion legislation brought by Westminster while the Stormont Assembly was collapsed in 2019.
