Two amendments have been tabled by Creasy; they require the government in Westminster to ensure Northern Ireland complies with United Nations human rights obligations relating to abortion, effectively kick-starting the decriminalisation process.

The proposed amendments – which have attracted the cross-party support of up to 60 MPs at the time of writing – cite the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women, which has previously found that the UK is violating the human rights of women in Northern Ireland by restricting their ability to access abortion and forcing them to seek costly treatment abroad.
