Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston, who is chair of the health select committee (select committee are cross party groups that are formed to help make a political consensus for certain policy and legislation making), has said that at the very least there should be a referendum on the issue in Northern Ireland.
Couple of problems with this.
Abortion is not a matter of politics, or of morality. It is a matter of personal choice about what a person does with their body. A vote against reform essentially kills that personal choice, and it doesn't matter if 99% are against a person making that choice, since it is not the 99%s choice to make. A referendum shouldn't be needed, a right thinking legislature would simply remove this prohibition.
Brexit. If Northern Ireland voted to reform abortion laws, any one insisting abortion laws be reformed, but then doesn't respect the vote for the UK to leave the European Union, is just going to look like a cunt! Could be tricky for Sinn Fein!
