Party members joined the ‘Rally for Choice’  in Belfast city centre this afternoon as part of the ongoing campaign to secure the provision of  free, safe, legal and accessible abortion services in Northern Ireland.

The Assembly has refused repeatedly to act on this issue and it is a tragic irony that as ‘equality’ forms part of the new Assembly talks process, women’s equality is not even on the agenda.

The five main parties at Stormont do not trust women.

The Workers Party believes in a woman’s right to choose and supports the provision of free, safe, legal and accessible abortion in her own country including practical facilities to support women seeking an abortion and quality post-abortion care.
