The BBC’s campaign for abortion abroad
SIR – The case made by Robin Aitken (Feature, October 21) for challenging BBC bias on abortion coverage came soon after a piece on the BBC news, in which Reeta Chakrabarti visited Chile and interviewed several opponents of restrictions on abortion provision in this predominantly Catholic country. She also questioned the relevant government minister in an adversarial manner. The combined effect of these interviews left little doubt as to where the BBC stood on the issue and what the purpose of the visit was.
