A rally demanding a change to Northern Ireland's abortion laws has taken place in Belfast.

Hundreds of people took part in the second Rally for Choice to be held in the city.

Terminations are only allowed in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or there is permanent or serious risk to the mothers mental or physical health.

It's thought many women from Northern Ireland travel to England for a termination. 

A referendum on the abortion issue in the Republic is to take place next year.
