Campaigners clash over leaked Labour manifesto pledge to have abortion on demand for women in NI
Campaigners clash over leaked Labour manifesto pledge to have abortion on demand for women in NI.
A leaked copy of Labour's manifesto has pledged to extend abortion rights to women in Northern Ireland. The document says the party will continue to ensure a woman's right to choose a safe legal abortion, including here. But with the main parties at Stormont opposing abortion-on-demand here - would a Labour government have any right to do this? Or is this a bold step to secure equal rights across the UK? Stephen was joined by Marion Woods from Life NI and the pro-abortion campaigner Goretti Horgan.
Also on the programme, how about this for a radical thought - if you are not happy with your team should you choose another? That is what one football fan is proposing. Damian Reilly, writing in The Spectator, is a former Manchester United supporter - he is now an Arsenal fan and has said that those not happy with the club and manager Arsene Wenger should find another team to support. He joined Stephen this morning along with former Nolan Show editor and football obsessive David Gordon.
And, Vinny and Nicola went along to the Balmoral Show for a muck-about.
