Abortion legislation in Northern Ireland is in breach of human rights law, the Belfast High Court has ruled.
Currently, termination of pregnancy is only allowed if a woman's life is at risk or there is a permanent or serious risk to her mental or physical health.
The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (NIHRC) brought the case to extend abortion to cases of serious foetal malformation, rape or incest.
The 1967 Abortion Act does not apply to Northern Ireland.
