The North’s pro-life laws should be supported, a leading member of the SDLP has said.

Noting how almost nine million children have been aborted in Britain since the passage of the 1967 Abortion Act, Alban Maginness, Belfast North MLA from 1998 to 2016, wrote in The Belfast Telegraph that over 100,000 babies in the North have been spared a similar fate over the same period.

Mr Maginness criticised the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission for wanting to water down pro-life protections.
