Abortion has been decriminalised and same-sex marriage is to be legalised in Northern Ireland.

Legislation making the changes - which was passed by MPs at Westminster - came into force at midnight.

The first same-sex weddings in Northern Ireland are set to take place in February 2020.

...Same-sex marriages have been allowed in England, Scotland and Wales since 2014, but Stormont did not legalise them.

The abortion law obliges the UK to ensure regulations for free, legal and local abortion services are in place by 31 March 2020.

This is what happens in the Union of four nations - Westminster parliament decides to push this on the individual nation of Northern Ireland.

this really surprises me

I guess it is really true that all of the real men in Northern Ireland immigrated to America many years ago, leaving the spineless wimps behind. (my DNA is mostly Northern Irish)
