Dear Katie, I am so angry and frustrated and sorry that this happened (and is still happening) to you. Abortion is healthcare, responsible abortion-providing dating scans etc- is vital. You were failed by the NHS and the government on your moment of greatest need. I see you, I support you unwaveringly, and while I’m not Christian, I will make a petition to the Old Gods for Justice. Finally- the midwife should be ashamed. Her whole career is supposed to be about supporting and advocating for women, not condemning and judging. I stand shoulder to shoulder with you

Dear Katie* I just wanted to say how sorry I was hear about what you are going through and how you have been treated. It’s only in recent years that I have come to understand the kinds of issues facing women in some of our institutions when they are at their most vulnerable. Women in these situations should be treated with care and compassion and not subjected to what I consider to be institutional abuse. I hope it helps in some small way to know how many people care and are campaigning against the treatment you have received. With love Teresa x
Dear Katie Just to let you know that you are not forgotten and that we are not only standing with you in solidarity, we are still campaigning for you. You did the right thing and should not be punished for something you’re legally entitled to. Level Up and women, including me, all over Britain sends you love and best wishes for an end to this so you can carry on with your life. All the very best, K C x
Dear Katie I am so sorry that you are a victim of archaic laws.. I hope that you will be able to be strong facing your troubles. Know that l am with you and thinking about you. Love and good wishes Liz Holmes

Dear Darling, I’m so sorry for the trauma you experienced in hospital. I totally condemn it. It is a complete outrage. You deserved support & you were let down. You have done nothing wrong. So many of us women want to help you. You will be supported. Please ask for exactly what you need. Nothing is too much. This will get better. I promise. You will recover. I’ve been there. So many sisters standing with you in solidarity & rage. Love & anger, Lára
Dear Carla, thinking of you and hoping that an appeal against this ridiculous sentence will be forthcoming and successful. It is unbelievable that a law from 1861 still holds sway over women’s rights and control over their own bodies. I have only recently been made aware that such a law exists. I was under the impression that abortion was a right for all women in this country. Wishing you all the best.

Dear Carla, my heart goes out to you, cannot imagine what you must be going through with this insanity. I’m sure all you want is for it to end, and I hope you will soon be vindicated and issued an apology for this complete travesty. With love, stay strong for you, your family and your fight for justice, Jill x

Dear Carla, my heart goes out to you for all you have gone through and the cruel injustice which you are having to suffer. I hope there will be enough pressure for those concerned to be ashamed and make amends. Stay strong. Warm wishes and thoughts Theresa

Dear Carla, it’s with rage that so many women and men heard of your sentencing. You have been made an example of, in response to an archaic law that has absolutely no place in our time. May you stay strong and know that the thoughts of so many of us around the world are with you, we are behind you, we are against the law, and the law must be changed.
Jules
Dear Carla, I want to send you lots of love. You are in my prayers.
