Sir, - Your issue of February 1st carried a letter from Mary Banotti, attacking President Bush's decision to cut off funding from agencies which, inter alia, force abortion on developing countries.As is not unusual with so-called "pro-choice" (but not for unborn babies) proponents, the letter seeks - by confusing the issue through linking it to contraception - to have abortion funded by the back door.Blackmailing of developing countries by linking aid to enforced population suppression is just colonialism in another form and is unworthy of any democratic state or its so-called "good will ambassadors. Good will towards whom? - Yours, etc.Nial Darragh, Chairman, Council of Social Concern, Orwell Road, Dublin 6.
