Her remarks come amid a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/mps-demand-theresa-may-allows-abortion-referendum-northern-ireland\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">push within her own Conservative Party<\/a> to allow abortion in Northern Ireland, following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/ireland-eighth-amendment-brings-abortion-out-of-the-shadows\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">landslide vote<\/a> in Ireland to overturn the Republics ban. Northern Irelands Democratic Unionist Party, which props up Mays government, staunchly opposes such a move.<\/p>\n<p>However, May stressed that the decision should be left up to Northern Irish lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy preferred option is for it to be dealt with and addressed by those people who are elected politicians in \u2014 and elected as \u2014 accountable politicians in Northern Ireland,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>While abortion is available in the rest of the U.K., Northern Ireland is exempt from the 1967 law allowing the procedure. May said the matter should be left in the hands of Northern Irelands devolved legislative assembly, although negotiations to form a power-sharing government there have been deadlocked for more than a year.<\/p>\n<p>The House of Commons debated a proposal on Tuesday to repeal Northern Irish laws that make procuring abortion a crime before 24 weeks of pregnancy. May called the testimony \u201cvery moving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because abortion is a \u201cconscience issue,\u201d May said Tories would not be subject to pressure from the party to vote in a particular way. The question \u201calways and will continue to be treated as a free vote,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/after-donald-trump-tweetstorm-no-real-big-fireworks-at-g7-emmanuel-macron\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">After Trump tweetstorm, no real big fireworks at G7<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/theresa-may-abortion-rights-in-favor\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May openly expressed support for abortion rights for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":82118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
