I'm glad you're so confident of that;  I'm not, given the inevitable horse-
trading that goes on in coalitions.

One first reaction to the arrangement by Owen Paterson - a former NI 
Secretary - was that it could lead to re-opening the debate on abortion 
times:

"Asked about the impact of Mrs May’s deal with the DUP Mr Paterson, who 
served as Northern Ireland Secretary from 2010 to 2012, said: “I don't see 
many major social issues coming up in the next parliament."

"You might get a debate I suppose on further reduction of abortion times as 
medical science advances."

I'd expect it to be defeated again, but without the DUP's involvement it 
wouldn't stand much chance of being raised again in the first place.
