Wera went head to head with Sammy Wilson (DUP) over Northern Irish abortion reform...
Sammy Wilson, known for his controversial views on climate change, was in the middle of arguing against abortion reform.
Wera said:
"I thank you very much for giving way. Will he understand that people, who like me, actually would never have an abortion herself, will support that women should have the right to choose. It's not for us here to make the decision, it's for the individual to make that very personal decision."
The debate was an emotionally charged one, brought forward at short notice by Stella Creasy in light of the victorious referendum in Ireland over a woman's right to choose. Northern Ireland is the only place in the United Kingdom where abortion remains a criminal offence, even in cases of rape and incest.
