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.

I am appalled at a prison sentence being imposed upon Carla for causing a late abortion, and earnestly appeal for her to be released from prison while the case is reviewed. For many reasons, a prison sentence was inappropriate in this case, that a reviewing body is virtually certain to cast it down. It is therefore essential that she is allowed to return home to care for her family during the time required for the reviewing body to be set up, and to undo the the harm that has been caused .

Dear Carla – it is outrageous that you have been sentenced to prison and I want you to know that you have a lot of support and love around you which will ultimately win against this cruel judgement.

Carla, I support you. I respect your decision and action. All have a right to medical care and medication and abortion is part of that. I will continue to speak openly about the need for women to access abortion and abortion care for themselves. Kate

Carla, I hope you’re ok and getting by the best you can. I want you to know that thousands of women and people across the country support you without judgement. What you did was so understandable, so human. It’s an outrage that you were imprisoned for it. We will fight for you and everyone else at risk. If you can, keep a diary whilst you’re in there. It will help you stay sane. Read, eat whenever the food is decent, sleep, take care of yourself. Sending lots of love and solidarity your way. We’ve got your back.

Dear Carla, I’m horrified at what has and is being done to you and feel incredibly angry and sorry about it. Whatever your circumstances, you had the right to choose what you wanted to do with your own body without any rules imposed on you – or any of us. After all it’s not like terminating a pregnancy is ever an easy thing to do, is it? Anyway, while I’m sure it’s of little consolation, please know that there are many many people who don’t judge you for your choices and support you and the abolishing of the arcane laws you were prosecuted under. We’ll continue to fight for your rights and mine and all other women’s. I hope you can continue to be a fighter, too, to get through your sentence and the aftermath. It must be so hard to be away from your kids and I’ll be holding all of you together in my thoughts. Finally, I hope you might allow me to cast my personal protection spell (for me and my loved ones) on you and yours as well: Be good. Be well. Be brave. Be safe. Be kind. And maybe try to have at least one good laugh a day even when there’s not all that much to laugh about. I live with complex PTSD and have found that even slightly forced laughter makes a big difference. It’s like giving your mind and body a little break and pick me up. Big hugs! In love and rage, V. xx

Dear Carla, I just want you to know that I share the outrage of many women about the horrific sentence that the judge imposed on you. As a mother and grandmother myself I cannot begin to imagine the torment that you went through, and now the ongoing torture of being separated from your children. I assume that you are appealing the sentence, and can only hope that compassion and common sense will win the day. Stay strong if you can, and know that the love of many many women is being sent to you. Diana

Carla, you were right….and it is your body and your life. The law is wrong to criminalise women in this way. I and many others support you!
