From Michael O’Shea
Sir: In his excellent article on Ruth Kelly Leo McKinstry mentions her ‘religious’ opposition to abortion. Perhaps she opposes abortion not so much because her religion requires her to as because she thinks it is wrong. And I am sure that the ‘astonishing 5 per cent of all London girls aged between 15 and 17 [who] have been pregnant’ would have been very many fewer had abortion been less easily available to them.

From Jonathan de Ferranti
Sir: Please congratulate Leo McKinstry for defending Ruth Kelly and exposing the double standards of the witch-hunting tabloid lynch mob. The buck should stop with Rupert Murdoch who, throughout his career, has put selling newspapers, with all their page-one sensations and page-three sleaze, above right and decency.
