PETER FORDE,
Sir, - I agree wholeheartedly with Marie Altzinger and Eugene Doyle (March 20th). I too, on liberal grounds, am totally opposed to abortion. In all previous general elections I have voted for candidates and parties of the centre-left, but for the first time in my life, in the forthcoming election, I shall be voting for candidates of the largest conservative party. This is something I really do not want to do but I feel I am left with no other choice, since all the other main parties have said they will legislate for abortion if elected to power.
Reprehensible as I may find the idea, personally I would prefer to live in a stratified, grossly unequal society than one in which abortion is made legal. - Yours, etc.,
PETER FORDE,
Marlborough Road,
Dublin 7.
