NEWS: Baroness Paisley tells DUP and Sinn Fein to compromise to stop abortion
With less than two weeks left to stop Westminster's appalling and extreme abortion law being imposed on Northern Ireland, Baroness Paisley has spoken out. Baroness Paisley, the DUP's vice-president, has appealed for the DUP and Sinn Fein to come to a compromise in order to see Stormont restored by October 21st so that abortion will not be decriminalised.
In a letter to the News Letter [[link removed]], the widow of DUP founder Ian Paisley wrote that Northern Ireland is “only two short weeks away from a dramatic change in our law”.
Baroness Paisley said that the decision facing the parties represents “the greatest test of our political leadership” and called for “but one man or woman who will break party political cover and save the day”.
She said: “Until now, like many thousands in our Province, I have hoped and prayed that the greater good might prevail and that our elected representatives might lay down their differences, take up their mandate and return to work with the not inconsiderable aim of preventing such a wholesale turn about in the law regarding abortion.”
The only parties who can secure the return of devolution are the DUP and Sinn Fein, with the other parties powerless to break Stormont's political deadlock.
Baroness Paisley said: “The various arguments as to why they are choosing not to do so need no repetition by me. We are wearied by their scrambling to claim the higher ground. But right now the hard-won devolution powers which have the potential to reap a fine harvest for us, are being left to perish in the field.
“This issue, above all others, will set the trajectory of our future. By it we will become a Province known for choosing to preserve the sanctity of life – no matter the trends and preferences elsewhere – or we will be numbered with everywhere else and welcomed as having at last joined the ranks of the ‘advanced world’.”
