evidence: Although the AA 1967 was passed in Great Britain, and with it access to legal abortion for more people, no such changes were introduced in Northern Ireland where the political climate was even more complex. Consequently, the criminal provisions in the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 remained those that governed the provision of abortion. People in Northern Ireland thus had no access to terminations unless necessary to save their lives/serious risk to health (where doctors were willing to help them) or they were able to travel to England and shoulder the costs themselves (even though their taxes would contribute to NHS-funded access for women in Great Britain).Footnote 48 Since 2017, abortions in Great Britain have been NHS-funded for people who traveled from Northern Ireland.Footnote 49 This did not, however, eliminate other associated costs, however, such as taking time off work, travel, and potentially childcare. Abortion was partially decriminalized in 2019 with the relevant criminal offenses in the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 ceasing to apply in Northern Ireland. New regulations were introduced to govern abortion provision.
