Hi Katie (sorry I can’t use your real name), I am so so sorry to hear about the terrible time you’ve been having. I used to be an NHS doctor, and as far as I’m concerned it should be the midwife who reported you, not you, who is facing investigation. Every nurse and doctor who works in the NHS is taught from day one that patient confidentiality is an absolute, only to be broken in very specific circumstances. Your circumstance was not one of them, and she had no right to do what she did. It must be unbelievably stressful to have to go through an abortion and then emergency surgery, so to then be faced with criminal charges doesn’t bear thinking about. It makes me very angry that women are not allowed to own their own bodies. It makes me even angrier when I hear about other women as well as men interfering like this. I have been campaigning for women to have free access to abortion services, as well as for women in prisons to have proper access to maternity care. It seems that there has been a sudden increase in the number of women in your situation being prosecuted, which surely has no basis in today’s society, and we have to work hard to stop it. I’m sending you hope and strength and sisterly love, and the strongest wishes that all the charges against you are dropped. Good luck and stay strong, you have done nothing wrong. Diana x

I am so sorry for the trauma you have been through. The legal system is broken and funding for abortion services is abysmal. I’m so sorry that you are paying the price for problems that are not your fault. Thousands of people across the country, including me, are with you and will not stop until you have justice.

Having gone through an abortion, I know it’s not easy. It’s not a pleasant choice. Abortion must be treated compassionately and decriminalized. I’m so sorry you are facing this. It’s wrong. You are in my thoughts.

I could believe this happened in parts of the USA but Great Britain no and I don’t know why it hasn’t been reported more widely. There are far too many busy bodies who try and force their (often religious) views on others (usually women). This will resort in a waste of public money that could far better be spent on other things to say nothing of the stress and disruption of your life. I wish you all the best and and hope the trial goes well for you

Sending you an absolutely enormous amount of strength, support and love. You have done only what is right for you, and that is an act of courage and self love that should be your fundamental human right. I can’t imagine the pain you must be suffering on account of this outrageous miscarriage of justice, but know that women everywhere stand with you and stand for you. Don’t lose hope, we’re all here for you.

Dear Katie, I do hope common sense and kindness prevail and your indictment is simply withdrawn. We must all join together to get this outdated law removed from the Statute Book. Hopefully you can take some comfort that so many women support you and feel for you. Dr Ruth Barker

Please know that there are many many people out there who think what is happening to you is abhorrent. I can’t imagine what you’re going through but I hope your ordeal is over soon, that they drop legal action, and then you can start healing. In the meantime please know you are not alone. Sending love and solidarity from Devon. Tessa x
