I stand with Katie during this awful time. I’m horrified to hear they have been put on trial for accessing abortion care through the NHS. Abortions are a vital part of healthcare and needs to be treated as so and decriminalised. It’s disgusting to think abortions are yet to be decriminalised in the 21st century. I cannot imagine the stress and pain this has caused Katie. I send so much love and support to you during this time.

Hi Katie, What is being done to you is outrageous and downright spiteful. It’s certainly not protecting the public from crime. One person has been allowed to act on their own personal beliefs and the so-called justice system is helping her ‘punish’ you severely and unnecessarily. They should all be prosecuted for hate crime. They’re all hurting you but you’ve hurt no one. This action should be thrown out completely and this ridiculous law removed from the statute books. With love and strength, Dot

You deserve proper healthcare and have the right to control your own fertility – only you know what you can sustain and all women should all be trusted as it’s a deeply personal decision. I say this as someone who’s life was affected by both my grandmother’s and my mother’s lack of access to appropriate abortion care. There is no compassion in those policies. You and all women deserve better.

We choose you. We choose your life. We choose your say. We support you. When one of us is reprimanded due to an outdated law, all of us feel it. When one of us is at risk, we’re all at risk. We support you, we support your choice. We’ll be here with you along the way.

This is heartbreaking and you have already suffered far to much. You need every help & kindness after such an ordeal & not to be assailed with an archaic and blunt law. Please, please do not let the ignorance of officialdom make you feel devalued as a human being. With all of my respect & with my most kindest wishes.

Kate – I am standing with you and hope that this archaic law is repealed and you like many other women can get the help and support you need at this traumatic time.

I am so sorry that ‘Katie’ or any woman suffers such cruel behaviour by NHS and police system. To have to have an abortion is bad enough, without all of this criminalising it. Personally, I have never needed an abortion but have experienced such NHS cruelty when lying on hosp bed miscarrying an early foetus. After the curt nurse said that I had ‘finished bleeding’, she told me that I could ‘go home how’ as i was not pregnant. No kind words ar compassion. I was mid forties and had always very much wanted a baby – I was heart broken – but had to get up and make my way home alone. The pregnancy followed a date rape situation which was horrible but i accepted it (didn’t report it) wondering if i might have become pregnant. . . I do believe that men should be held responsible for every pregnancy esp when raped or coerced into having sex. Perhaps best if all men were neutered in early teens. This can be reversed in almost every case – and it is a simple quick minor surgery – much safer that all the contraceptives which women endure. Good luck to all women

Hi Katie, Your story has made me so sad. It chills me that you have been treated this way simply for accessing medication. It’s disgusting. I offer you love, support and sisterhood. I have terminated two pregnancies, one surgically and one using pills as prescribed by a doctor. You should have been treated with love, compassion and respect. It is what you deserve in the face of a medical emergency. I am sure you know this but sometimes we need to hear it: it is not your fault. It is infuriating that after an experience like this you now have to face a bogus court case. You should be recovering from this traumatic health incident surrounded by love, not judgement. Sending you love, and solidarity, I will follow your case and hope very much to see compassion and justice throw the bloody thing out of the courts so you can heal. Jo
