I am really sorry that this is happening to you. You are not alone. Lots of women like me know why you didn’t want to be pregnant and took whatever action they could at the time. We are on your side and will support you against this appalling injustice. Best wishes Rhona

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

I am so sorry you are facing this unnecessary trial. This must be such a difficult time for you. Whatever happens with the trial, there are lots of people who won’t be judging you at all for this. We understand that abortion is an incredibly personal decision for the person/people involved and legal punishment is never the right solution.

So bad that they are compounding your anguish with this. I don’t know the circumstances but the fact given, that the NHS prescribed this action, is surely proof that you should not be going through this and will be cleared at the end, but that won’t help until it’s over – and it will be over. Try to get on with your life – an entire movement is between you and is fighting for you. God bless.

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.
