Changes to the Island's abortion laws will face what could be their final legislative hurdle next week.
Dr Alex Allinson's Abortion Reform Bill will be back before Legislative Council on Tuesday, after amendments were made by the House of Keys.
If MLCs agree with the changes, the bill will be signed by Tynwald before it can be given royal assent and become law.
The legislation relaxes tight restrictions on abortions, which saw thousands of Island women forced to travel to the UK.
