My heart breaks for you and your children. Please stay strong and know that there are so many people standing with you. We won’t stop until we get rid of these archaic laws and make sure everyone can access safe healthcare when they need it, without fear. I’m so sorry this hasn’t happened in time for you, to this country’s shame. Sending love and strength, Ruth, Bournemouth

No-one should have a say over what happens within your body except YOU. This sentence is unjust and misogynistic. Women’s bodies are not baby carriers – we all have a right to bodily autonomy. We support you at this awful time and will not cease to campaign until abortion is completely decriminalised and you are free. Take heart!
Isabelle
On your side, have no fear.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the ordeal you and those you love have undergone and the appalling treatment meted out by the, so called, justice system. I’m especially outraged by the remark that, if you’d pleaded guilty sooner, the sentence would have been suspended. I hope you are all able to survive until this brutal punishment is over, or better still revoked.

Sending you all the love in the world, what you’re going through must be unimaginably hard and it is completely unjust! We are fighting for you and a better world for women with full autonomy over their own bodies

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
Dee
Solidarity and hope you are released soon.

The law is outdated and totally wrong. We feel for you and your children. The law has to change. Woman should own their bodies the same as men own theirs.

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.
