Reverend Patricia Sheerattan-Bisnauth is spearheading legal action in Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda .

She says decriminalising abortion will bring it out of the darkness and lead to a reduction.

The Christian Church plays a key role in Caribbean society and religious leaders have spoken out against the issue.

In Antigua , the government has sidestepped the debate by pledging to leave the matter in the hands of the courts.

Many Caribbean governments have been reluctant to broach the issue of abortion in the region.

Church spokesman: "As a church, we believe life is sacred and only God should determine when life should end".
