Lawmakers resume abortion bill debate without committee report

The Løgting, the Faroese parliament, voted 18-15 to return a bill amending the abortion law to the chamber, and has begun its second reading, KVF reported.

The bill was proposed by Steffan Klein Poulsen of the Centre Party. Hervør Pálsdóttir of Tjóðveldi, who sits on the legal committee reviewing the proposal, asked for it to be returned to the chamber.

The committee had until November 4 to submit its report, but none had been presented when lawmakers voted.
