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

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

Carla, I support you. I respect your decision and action. All have a right to medical care and medication and abortion is part of that. I will continue to speak openly about the need for women to access abortion and abortion care for themselves. Kate

I am appalled to hear that you have been sentenced to a prison term Carla. I want you to know that I, and everyone I know, think this is a travesty of justice. This law is archaic and inhumane and needs changed. If there had to be consequences they should not have involved taking you away from your children. I will support all endeavours to have this sentence revoked. I cannot believe a woman can be taken from her family and imprisoned for the actions you took, actions taken in exceptional circumstances and in desperation. I am so angry about this miscarriage of justice. Thinking of you in this terrible time.

This antiquated law is despicable and you have all my support and solidarity. I hope you and your family are able to weather this as well as possible. It’s disgusting and shouldn’t be happening.

The law really needs to be brought into the 21st century. You did nothing wrong, it’s those who are rolling back women’s rights who are the real criminals. I stand with you, and will keep fighting for as long as it takes until we secure reproductive freedom and access to healthcare.

I am really sorry that this is happening to you. You are not alone. Lots of women like me know why you didn’t want to be pregnant and took whatever action they could at the time. We are on your side and will support you against this appalling injustice. Best wishes Rhona
