First Marie Stopes clinic to open in Belfast

[CrunchyFrog]

Belfast Telegraph report and poll

There have been some very interesting responses.

For my part, I hope I never need it, but I am bloody glad it's there! £450 is a hell of a lot easier to find than the sometimes thousands women have had to spend getting to the mainland.

Oops, just noticed the other thread - but it's worth a look at the article, and the anti-choicers are rallying for the poll, so maybe worth a click at that too!

Done.
Thank you for posting this link Crunchy. I urge you all to vote. Please. The women of NI deserve reproductive choices, just like other women in the UK.

Blimey...not exactly an unbiased piece of reporting I'd have said. Thanks frog.

Have "shared" this on FB.
First time I have ever done anything like this. Please do the same wonderful MNetters.

Done.

Shocked at some of the comments though

Welcome to Northern Ireland Arseface. Please set your watch to local time: the 17th century.

Absolutely fantastic news. I cannot believe anyone is objecting to this, given that the clinic will only be doing abortions when there is a severe threat to health or life. How can it be pro-life to want to let women die?

Sad but not surprised.

Warning, the link below is horrible and distressing.

Clinic opened today. Anyone using the legal, confidential range of services would have been met by this

Someone took their 9 month old child. The paper described the child as protesting.
