Letter: Doctor jailed for woman's choice
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Suzanne Moore refers to an opinion poll finding that "72 per cent of both Conservative and Labour supporters said that a candidate's stance on abortion would not alter the way they voted".
Ms Moore claims this as evidence that there is no mileage in candidates making an issue of abortion.
On the contrary, it is highly significant that 28 per cent of voters are liable to change their vote on an issue which all parties try to sweep under the carpet. I suspect that this is a far higher percentage than those who might change their vote over, say, a single European currency.
