I can’t understand why such a law still exists! This law does no good for society and the application did no good for you, your family, or community as a whole. I am so sorry that it has taken your suffering to highlight this injustice. I hope and trust that the law will be changed and that you will be released back into the family where you can do good rather than being where it does no good to anyone.

It is shocking for me to read that you have received a prison sentence on top of the emotional stress and pain of the abortion. I want you to know that I think this is unfair and unnecessary and offer you my best wishes, Bob Jamieson

Dear Carla, it’s with rage that so many women and men heard of your sentencing. You have been made an example of, in response to an archaic law that has absolutely no place in our time. May you stay strong and know that the thoughts of so many of us around the world are with you, we are behind you, we are against the law, and the law must be changed.

So sorry Carla that you have been incarcerated for something that has gone on since time immortal. I know it’s hard to get an abortion and you don’t always know how far into a pregnancy without a scan you are.. but to rip you from your family and criminalise you is outrageous. I’m so angry with the system that can send a woman to jail for controlling her body please know myself and thousands of people are thinking and hoping your sentence gets quashed soon xx

All abortions should be free, safe, local and available on demand without limits. Sending love to you and your loved ones.

Hi Carla What can I say the Police and CPS are busy enforcing an ancient Law which is not relevant to today’s society. Unfortunately you in your honesty were caught up in it. We will all push to get the Law changed and also to get That guy C111 to issue a pardon.

With you in solidarity sister x

Dear Carla I was very sorry to learn of your situation and the fact that you were prosecuted under an ancient law. Please know that you have my support and hope to hear of your release soon Yours John

I can’t begin to understand what you’ve been through & am appalled at how our so-called justice system has treated you. My thoughts are with you.

It should never be questioned that women should have ultimate control over what happens to their bodies. Safe abortion and support should be an option for all women who find themselves pregnant in all circumstances where they don’t want to have a child, for whatever reason. If she is suffering from mental illness, then she should also received mental health support for as long as she needs it. Counselling should be available to anyone who needs it when choosing abortion, and good, non-judgemental information about the process should be readily available to anyone who is considering it. We need gold standard treatment, and Carla’s name should never have been plastered all over the press. Carla’s three children will suffer enough while their mother is in jail, having the world knowing that their mum is in jail, and the reasons for it, is just cruelty. Carla is not a criminal, the law is wrong and needs to be changed.
