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

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

I just want you to know that there is a massive amount of support out here for you and compassion for the position you have been placed in. I was outraged to hear of your insensitive and medieval treatment and believe that sense can prevail at your court hearing. Stay strong and remember at all times that you are not alone. Keep your dignity and remain silent with the ignorant ones you will undoubtedly be facing and instead keep a picture of us holding you up.

Kate – I am standing with you and hope that this archaic law is repealed and you like many other women can get the help and support you need at this traumatic time.

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 situation is utterly appalling and discriminatory against women. Abortion is healthcare, and should be treated as such. The fact that a pill can be supplied by the NHS via the post just proves this. Your unjust case should clearly be dismissed. Good luck

Thinking of you Katie. It is absolutely disgraceful that you are being treated like this for using something that is perfectly legal, This is a situation that no man, or pro-lifer will ever understand. I’m sorry that you were betrayed by people that should have been looking after you. I hope it all goes well, and you are cleared of the ‘crime’.
