The following observation was made in the Irish News (19 October) by columnist Newton Emerson:Moyle councillor Margaret Anne McKillop has resigned from Sinn Fein, citing its recent support for limited forms of abortion. In the 11 years that McKillop was a party member the Provisional IRA committed five murders. Where was her uncompromising respect for the sanctity of life then?
Newton Emerson makes a valid point and Councillor McKillop's position is inconsistent.
I believe in the sanctity of human life but that applies to the victims of IRA terrorism as much as an unborn child.
