Dear Carla, I want to send you lots of love. You are in my prayers.

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.

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.
Jules
I am horrified at the brutal way you have been treated. Take care, and I hope you will be restored to your family soon.

Dear Carla, my heart goes out to you for all you have gone through and the cruel injustice which you are having to suffer. I hope there will be enough pressure for those concerned to be ashamed and make amends. Stay strong. Warm wishes and thoughts Theresa

I am horrified at what has been done to you. It is your body. It was your decision to make. I am shocked at how this has been handled and horrified that any judge could find against you in the 21st century. Solidarity and love to you and your family from Northern Ireland.

Dear Carla, my heart goes out to you, cannot imagine what you must be going through with this insanity. I’m sure all you want is for it to end, and I hope you will soon be vindicated and issued an apology for this complete travesty. With love, stay strong for you, your family and your fight for justice, Jill x

Dear Carla, thinking of you and hoping that an appeal against this ridiculous sentence will be forthcoming and successful. It is unbelievable that a law from 1861 still holds sway over women’s rights and control over their own bodies. I have only recently been made aware that such a law exists. I was under the impression that abortion was a right for all women in this country. Wishing you all the best.
Sue
Dearest Carla. My friends and I were absolutely horrified at what has happened to you. Making a choice about your own body should never be criminalised. I am beyond sorry about your experience but please know that there are thousands of us who are behind you, think what has been done to you is disgusting and send all our love and solidarity to you.

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
