"Is May sufficiently strong enough as a feminist to want to ensure that abortion law reform for Northern Ireland is investigated quickly? Or more concerned for herself and the power sharing/support that the DUP delivers?" It's not for Theresa May or Westminster to decide, this is a devolved issue in Northern Ireland and should be left to the power sharing executive in Stormont to decide upon once it's back up and running. | |||

"Is May sufficiently strong enough as a feminist to want to ensure that abortion law reform for Northern Ireland is investigated quickly? Or more concerned for herself and the power sharing/support that the DUP delivers?" The people of Northern Ireland are quite capable of resolving this issue themselves. That is why we have our elected MPs and a majority party in Northern Ireland to look after our interests. | |||

"What has it got to do with the PM? Devolved issues..." Nothing really. However because the Stormont parliament is suspended at the moment Labour are just jumping on the bandwagon from the Irish referendum to try and make it the PM's problem. While the day to day running of Northern Ireland is the responsibility of Westminster at the moment, big decisions such as this should wait for Stormont to be reinstated. The Labour party know this but seem hell bent on using it as an issue against the PM. | |||

"What has it got to do with the PM? Devolved issues..." because where "health" is devolved... because abortion law in NI is so strict it could be see as "human rights" and that is not devolved..... | |||

Tory party ethics are simple, party before country and power before everything. | |||

I've heard opinion poll results showing very clear acceptance of it being a right that women should have, across the political spectrum of NI adults. 
The current punishments for women are really tough, so it's revealing that a 'feminist' like May was very quiet after the weekend result, until almost all other people had spoken out. She's only thinking of herself. | |||

"The Supreme Court have just basically given may cover to change the law.... I wonder if she will do it... or whether to make labour put in an amendment " It has been shown to be a substantial human rights issue and it is immoral for May - as Prime Minister (not to mention any claim as a feminist) not to pursue immediate recourse to resolve this. May be she should be tried for human rights abuses! I also note that Nicola Sturgeon may be remaining somewhat quiet on this issue, as it has impact upon devolved powers, a subject dear to her heart. | |||

I think sturgeon is in an awkward position in that she is firmly pro choice... but if she pushes may on this issue she is effectively saying that human rights trump devolved rights! Sturgeon and foster don’t particularly like each other on this issue as foster hates that sturgeon has given Northern Irish women a get around by offering the Scottish nhs to do this... It will be interesting to see if snp mps vote for the creasy amendment | |||

Do you write for the Daily Record by any chance?" Golly no. The DUP appear closed to this being a human rights issue, wanting to cling to the past. I 'noted' that Nicola Sturgeon had been quiet on the issue, since the Judges spoke: she has opened NHS Scotland services for abortion, to NI women, a highly commendable action and is forthright on abortion being an important right for women generally. There's no criticism in that from me, in fact it's the reverse. The issue of devolved powers and Ms Sturgeon's response on this newest development was covered well by Fabio. Sturgeon is highly astute and probably better to leave May to hang herself. I think it's clear that May is a opportunist 'feminist', when it suits her. The UK wide legislation that restricts UK abortions is the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, which had a 1967 amendment to it. This UK legislation could be amended, which could provide greater freedom for the NI parliament, when it is reconvened and the NI population. May is largely tyring to keep her DUP politician partners happy, illustrating how power for politicians is more important than basic human rights for citizens. | |||
