Home truths for Sir Jeffrey about choice

Fair play to Sir Jeffrey Donaldson MP (left) who, talking about his daughter, a pro-choice abortion campaigner says: “We’ve got respect for each other, that we hold different opinions. My daughter knows I am very passionately pro-life. We talk regularly about this and other issues and I suppose it gives me an insight into the views and the thinking of people who take a different perspective from the one I do, and that has to be a healthy thing.”

I doubt very much whether Jeffrey’s is the only home — DUP or otherwise — where such debate is currently ongoing. It’s clear our society is changing. And such clarity, as they say, often begins at home.
