British Parliament approve proposals to legalise same-sex marriage and decriminalise abortion in Northern Ireland

The British Parliament has approved proposals to legalise same-sex marriage and decriminalise abortion in Northern Ireland, unless a devolved government is formed by the 21st of October.

The amendments were passed overwhelmingly by MPs this afternoon.

Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom where gay marriage and abortion are banned.
