Dear Carla I am so sorry about what has happened to you. I wish there was something I could do to change things for you. It seems deeply unjust that you were prosecuted at all and I am outraged that you have been sent to prison. It is so wrong. I hope you can take some small comfort from knowing how many people are angry and upset at what you are going through and are thinking of you and your children. With warmest wishes Amanda

Amanda

I am very angry about this . Please remember that many of us will fight to get you released

Yvonne

In my opinion you definitely don’t belong in prison. Somebody in your situation was in need of compassion and counselling, not punishment. Back in 1865 children were still working down in the mines from the age of 13. We certainly don’t want to be governed by the legal situation that allowed this to occur, and neither should we be governed by laws on abortion dating from then. I very much hope that you are soon released, and that the law is changed. Best wishes Mark Cowling

Hi Katie it is hard to believe that you are facing prosecution for accessing healthcare. We will not stand by while you face injustice. We will help Level Up to campaign on your side. I want to let you know that we send our support and solidarity. Please look after yourself.

Christopher Gooch

Hello Katie I am so sorry that you have been subjected to some harsh treatment just because you made the choice to have an abortion. I and many other people are concerned that you have faced cruelty when you needed care and compassion. I am aware that the police have taken action, and you are facing a criminal trial. I hope that knowing you have the support of many members of the community will provide you with some comfort during the trial. With all best wishes Rosemary

Rosemary Clarke

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.

Sandra Smailes

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Sending you solidarity to get through this nightmare.

Katie I’m so sorry this is happening to you in 2024!! Our laws that were created centuries ago still having power is abysmal and we will all fight this until it is changed. In the meantime, we stand in solidarity with you in your time of need. Be safe and be well

Dear Katie, My heart goes out to you as you face this ordeal. What a travesty. Sending you my support at this difficult time. Janet

Dear Carla, I want to send you lots of love. You are in my prayers.

Leslie
