I would like to know why there are so many archaic laws, such as this one? Women are still being classed as second class citizens in the 21st Century! It’s time that we as women start pushing for this & other laws which are so archaic they have no place in our society today! We must stop men from dictating what we can do with our bodies, they belong to us & we must fight for what is right! Ladies it is time for us to dictate what can & cannot be when it comes to women & their rights!!

I’m so sorry for what you are going through, it’s completely unfair. I did the same thing during the pandemic and I don’t regret it one minute. You made the right choice for yourself at the time, and you have suffered unnecessarily more than anyone else. I know you must be all over the place right now, but please remember you are going to be ok, this is just a blip. And your case is highlighting the injustice in the abortion system in the UK, so right now you are helping countless other women in the future. Your situation is not ‘an extremely rare case’, it’s an extremely rare case that has been reported to the police and every step of the way someone didn’t turn a blind eye when they should have done. You told the truth at the hospital to save your own life, you’ve done the right thing for yourself. Stay strong, you’re not a criminal and you’re not guilty of doing anything wrong. I hope you can find peace within your self, try study an area of interest to keep your mind busy if you can bring yourself to it. It will get better, all my love.

I’m so so SO cross, it’s actually devastating. It’s all the different areas of misogyny like the fact that police were allowed to access her search history and that despite all the letters of advocacy from docs and nurses the judge still made this ruling – and that no one thought to abolish that ridiculous outdated legislation before something like this level Of ridiculousness happened. I cannot imagine the stress, fear and helplessness this person must have felt at the beginning of covid, how horrifying to now have to relive what was obviously an awful circumstance. How is there no bodily autonomy for women in this time we’re living in And in this country. No one should be in prison for anything about their own body.

In my opinion you definitely don’t belong in prison. Somebody in your situation was in need of compassion and counselling, not punishment. Back in 1865 children were still working down in the mines from the age of 13. We certainly don’t want to be governed by the legal situation that allowed this to occur, and neither should we be governed by laws on abortion dating from then. I very much hope that you are soon released, and that the law is changed. Best wishes Mark Cowling

Dear Carla, it’s with rage that so many women and men heard of your sentencing. You have been made an example of, in response to an archaic law that has absolutely no place in our time. May you stay strong and know that the thoughts of so many of us around the world are with you, we are behind you, we are against the law, and the law must be changed.
