Dearest Carla. My friends and I were absolutely horrified at what has happened to you. Making a choice about your own body should never be criminalised. I am beyond sorry about your experience but please know that there are thousands of us who are behind you, think what has been done to you is disgusting and send all our love and solidarity to you.

Dear ‘Katie’, What you are enduring is unfair beyond measure. I am standing with you: may Level Up be successful in their efforts and may you get justice.

Dear Katie, please stay strong. You had to take a dreadful decision during a terrible time. I hope you are treated with sympathy and mercy.

Dear Katie, I’m so sorry to learn about what you experienced and am furious on your behalf that something so unfathomable could happen to you. I spent a night in hospital due to a gynaecological procedure and felt suicidal, so can only imagine how you must have felt. You should have been safe and protected, not punished. I know words from strangers can’t undo the harm done to you, but I hope it brings you some comfort to know that people like me are on your side, sending love and compassion. I will continue to support Level Up’s campaign to decriminalise abortion and hope the legal system sees sense over your treatment (the moral crime is entirely theirs).

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

Dear Katie, This is a terrible story, and I am so sorry that you are having to endure this terrible experience. Your situation has brought this archaic law into public awareness and I hope that your suffering will hasten the removal of this law. Abortion is healthcare and should be decriminalised. With best wishes , Helen

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Dear Katie, I do hope common sense and kindness prevail and your indictment is simply withdrawn. We must all join together to get this outdated law removed from the Statute Book. Hopefully you can take some comfort that so many women support you and feel for you. Dr Ruth Barker

Dear Katie, I’m so sorry that the NHS Midwife treated you this way, and now the court system is forcing you to stand trial for choosing what to do with your own body, your own dignity and you right to live. This should not be happening to you and makes me so angry on your behalf and for all women subjected to this humiliating, degrading and disrespectful system. Standing with you all the way to your victory and for you to have a judge who puts humanity and rights of women first.

Dear Katie, I want you to know that you have my full support during this time. The fact that you are being prosecuted under such an outdated and unjust law is deeply concerning and outright disgusting. Abortion is healthcare, and no one should be criminalised for making decisions about their own body!!! You are not alone in this fight; many people stand with you, advocating for the decriminalisation of abortion and the end of these archaic laws. Stay strong, and remember that your bravery and resilience are inspiring to many.
