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

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!

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.

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.

I am sorry that you are having to cope with such an antiquated and essentially immoral law. You have done nothing wrong. Don’t let people make you believe or feel you did. You matter. Hang on to that. Very best Mary
