Dear Carla, I just want you to know that I share the outrage of many women about the horrific sentence that the judge imposed on you. As a mother and grandmother myself I cannot begin to imagine the torment that you went through, and now the ongoing torture of being separated from your children. I assume that you are appealing the sentence, and can only hope that compassion and common sense will win the day. Stay strong if you can, and know that the love of many many women is being sent to you. Diana

Dear Carla, What happened to you is appalling. You should know that public opinion is behind you. There has been an outcry about your treatment and sentence in the media and amongst everyone I know. I hope that you are able to launch an appeal that will overturn this inhumane decision to imprison you. Good luck and my thoughts. Jennifer

Dear Carla I am so sorry about what has happened to you. I wish there was something I could do to change things for you. It seems deeply unjust that you were prosecuted at all and I am outraged that you have been sent to prison. It is so wrong. I hope you can take some small comfort from knowing how many people are angry and upset at what you are going through and are thinking of you and your children. With warmest wishes Amanda

“He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future” George Orwell The control of a woman’s body should be hers alone; every woman knows this and every woman who writes a message of solidarity to you will be doing so in the knowledge that this is, morally and ethically, the right position. We stand with you, we will fight until the fight is won and, of our basic human autonomy, never will we surrender.

Dear Carla I am sorry!! Sorry you have been taken away from your children, sorry you have been treated so badly, sorry for the hurt you must be feeling, sorry you were even prosecuted in the first place and sorry you have been given such a disproportionate sentence. I am sorry but most of all I am angry. Angry that our archaic system feels it is acceptable to do all of the above. We care Carla and we will fight for your release and to ensure this happens to nobody else. Keep strong Carleen
