Belfast City Council is urging the Northern Health Trust to provide more information about early medical abortion on its website.
At the council ’s recent meeting of its Standards and Business Committee, elected members passed and adopted a People Before Profit motion that council officers write to the health trust, and also to write to the Stormont Health Minister to hold an emergency meeting on abortion services in Northern Ireland.
People Before Profit Councillor Fiona Ferguson, who tabled the motion, wanted to debate it at the full meeting of the council on November 1, but this was voted down by Sinn Féin, the DUP and the PUP.
