5 Live News SpecialsAvailable for over a year
In Northern Ireland, the laws on abortion and same-sex marriage are due to change at midnight on 21st October. Abortion will be decriminalised while, under the same act, same-sex marriage will become legal. To find out what the impact of legalising abortion will be, Emma Barnett talks to pro-choice campaigner Ashleigh Topley, who was not able to have a termination despite her baby having a fatal foetal abnormality, and Naomi Marsden from charity CARE who is anti-abortion. All information correct as of 16:40 GMT on 21 October.
