Katie, there are so many terrible things happening in the world but the way the English state has treated you is absolutely ghastly. I really did not believe my wife when she told me about it; please know that there must be hundreds if not thousands of well-wishes supporting you and be assured of our thoughts and hopes. With best wishes, Timothy Reynish

I am so sorry that ‘Katie’ or any woman suffers such cruel behaviour by NHS and police system. To have to have an abortion is bad enough, without all of this criminalising it. Personally, I have never needed an abortion but have experienced such NHS cruelty when lying on hosp bed miscarrying an early foetus. After the curt nurse said that I had ‘finished bleeding’, she told me that I could ‘go home how’ as i was not pregnant. No kind words ar compassion. I was mid forties and had always very much wanted a baby – I was heart broken – but had to get up and make my way home alone. The pregnancy followed a date rape situation which was horrible but i accepted it (didn’t report it) wondering if i might have become pregnant. . . I do believe that men should be held responsible for every pregnancy esp when raped or coerced into having sex. Perhaps best if all men were neutered in early teens. This can be reversed in almost every case – and it is a simple quick minor surgery – much safer that all the contraceptives which women endure. Good luck to all women

Dear Katie, I’m so sorry that the NHS Midwife treated you this way, and now the court system is forcing you to stand trial for choosing what to do with your own body, your own dignity and you right to live. This should not be happening to you and makes me so angry on your behalf and for all women subjected to this humiliating, degrading and disrespectful system. Standing with you all the way to your victory and for you to have a judge who puts humanity and rights of women first.

Dear Katie* I just wanted to say how sorry I was hear about what you are going through and how you have been treated. It’s only in recent years that I have come to understand the kinds of issues facing women in some of our institutions when they are at their most vulnerable. Women in these situations should be treated with care and compassion and not subjected to what I consider to be institutional abuse. I hope it helps in some small way to know how many people care and are campaigning against the treatment you have received. With love Teresa x
