I read your piece on the campaign for exclusion zones around abortion clinics (Letters, March 5), and noticed one of the campaigners who is leading the Back Off campaign, Erika Garratt, said, “Having an abortion can be an extremely emotional time for a woman”.

I too don’t want to understate the trauma women have gone through in making abortion-related decisions, and wonder, as she lives in Swindon and presumably reads this newspaper, whether Erika perhaps could explain in greater detail what exactly she means by that statement.
