NI Life and Times Survey - 2019 : UIABORTNA

When people are deciding how to vote in an election or referendum, they often take many factors into consideration. Please tell me in what way, if at all, the following issues would affect your decision on how to vote in a referendum on a united Ireland?
The Republic of Ireland allows termination of pregnancy up to 12 weeks and in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. Abortion is illegal in Northern Ireland except when the mother 's life is in danger. In what way might this difference influence how you would vote in a referendum on a united Ireland?
Note: this question was asked until 22 October, when the legislation in Northern Ireland was changed. From 23 October onwards, respondents were asked UIABORTNB.
