Emma Campbell from Alliance for Choice urged the party to “review their party policy”.
“Sinn Fein should be pushing for significant increases in funding to help disabled people, as well as ensuring free safe legal and local abortion care on the whole island of Ireland,” she said.
“We urge Sinn Fein to review their party policy in line with the minimum human rights standards and stop criminalising people who have devastating decisions to make about a wanted pregnancy.”
Amy Merron from the Ulster University Pro Choice group slammed those MLAs who voted in favour of a “lack of trust” in women, following the vote, and again criticised Sinn Fein for abstaining.
Reacting to the vote, a party spokesperson said this afternoon: “Sinn Féin believes abortion should be available where a woman’s life, health or mental health is at risk and in cases of fatal foetal abnormality.
“We are also strongly of the view that previous legislation on abortion was failing women in the north and was incompatible with human rights law, so change was required to avoid further trauma for victims of rape or incest and to remove barriers to access for victims of sexual crime.
“There is now a legal entitlement to modern, compassionate healthcare services for women but those services have still not been put in place by the Department of Health.
