Instead of being at Balmoral yesterday, all our DUP MPs were in Westminster to vote on the Assisted Dying Bill. We want to support life, not assist death. Parliament should focus on research, treatment and palliative care, rather than an ill-fated scheme that is the very opposite of our principals and the principles of the NHS. We value life and will always advocate for the preservation of life. Everyone wants to lessen the suffering of those who are in pain, but that should be through treatment, research and palliative care, not through ending that life.
This Bill will come back before Parliament again next month, and we will continue to oppose any attempt to bring it forward in any part of the United Kingdom.
Thank you for your continued support,
