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

Dear Katie, I am so angry and frustrated and sorry that this happened (and is still happening) to you. Abortion is healthcare, responsible abortion-providing dating scans etc- is vital. You were failed by the NHS and the government on your moment of greatest need. I see you, I support you unwaveringly, and while I’m not Christian, I will make a petition to the Old Gods for Justice. Finally- the midwife should be ashamed. Her whole career is supposed to be about supporting and advocating for women, not condemning and judging. I stand shoulder to shoulder with you

Keep your chin up Katie. This is 2024 what the hell, a woman should have the right to decide about her own body. It is disgraceful. I will be thinking about you, and I hope the best for you.

The patriarchy really are mysoginistic, women are still “witches” and men still fear us, so to keep us quiet in every sense we are targets. Don’t open your mouth or try something they don’t approve of, are some men so fragile they need to do these things? Keep being a woman, strong and steadfast.

This is appalling. Your lawyers should appeal to the new PM to immediately halt this prosecution. We are not in the 19th century. Abortion should be decriminalised now!

Dear Katie, My name is Sarah and I read about your awful experiences via Level Up. What’s happening to you is terrible. It’s not much, but you have my compassion, care and best wishes. I sincerely hope that the legal system comes to its senses very soon, and wish you didn’t have to go through this. With warmth Sarah X
