Women in Northern Ireland are not entitled to free abortions on the National Health Service in England, the Supreme Court has ruled.
The UK’s highest court rejected an appeal from a woman who went to England with her daughter for an abortion at a private clinic in 2012, at a cost of £900.
They had argued the UK health secretary had the power to make provisions for Northern Irish residents to access free abortions on the NHS, and it was unlawful that he had not done so.
However, judges threw out the case by a majority of three to two.
