Hi Katie, Your story has made me so sad. It chills me that you have been treated this way simply for accessing medication. It’s disgusting. I offer you love, support and sisterhood. I have terminated two pregnancies, one surgically and one using pills as prescribed by a doctor. You should have been treated with love, compassion and respect. It is what you deserve in the face of a medical emergency. I am sure you know this but sometimes we need to hear it: it is not your fault. It is infuriating that after an experience like this you now have to face a bogus court case. You should be recovering from this traumatic health incident surrounded by love, not judgement. Sending you love, and solidarity, I will follow your case and hope very much to see compassion and justice throw the bloody thing out of the courts so you can heal. Jo

You are strong, you are brave, and you face these challenges on behalf of all women who are controlled, have their power removed and their worth diminished by government and systems, but I wish you didn’t have to. Thank you for choosing to protect yourself, the world needs you. Any abortion is only ever an act of love, for life, kindness, sacrifice and need.

I am so very sorry that you are being put through this horrendous treatment. Abortion is healthcare and you shouldn’t be facing a trial, nor should you have had to face questioning and intimidation by the police. I want you to know that I and many others are standing with you in solidarity. Abortion is not something that should concern anyone but the patient and their doctors. Women should have the right to make the choice to end their pregnancy without fear. Sending love and support to you. Xxx

You deserve proper healthcare and have the right to control your own fertility – only you know what you can sustain and all women should all be trusted as it’s a deeply personal decision. I say this as someone who’s life was affected by both my grandmother’s and my mother’s lack of access to appropriate abortion care. There is no compassion in those policies. You and all women deserve better.
