Good luck to you Katie. With warm thoughts for you, Elizabeth

Elizabeth Spradbery

There are thousands of people wishing you well. Good luck.

Dave L

I am so sorry this happened to you. I am sorry you are being used as an “example” for the patriarchy. I wish you strength. I wish you inner peace (as best as possible) whilst still having enough fire inside to not give up. I wish you many cups of tea!

I’m so sorry this has happened to you. And I’m so grateful you’re sharing your personal trauma so all women can hopefully benefit. I send you virtual hugs and hope you can feel the love and support of the Level Up community. X

Hello Katie, I am appalled by the way you have been treated and further appalled that such injustice can exist in Britain today. I know I cannot fully appreciate all that you have suffered and continue to suffer, but I do feel for you. Wishing you all the best John

Dear Carla It is with sincere sympathy that I send this message of hope to you. You have been wrongfully imprisoned for making a decision that is rightfully yours to make. I know this cannot have been a decision that you made lightly. I wholeheartedly defend your decision, your right to choose and your right to freedom. I hope our messages will help you to feel less alone, because we stand with you.

Debra

I personally have not been in this situation but to take a mother away from her children is totally wrong, because of an outdated law? REALLY? All women need to stand up for Carla, stand behind her in support of her show her that we care what happens to her and will not take this sitting down! We need to step up and put an end to this cruelty of taking mothers away from their children, IT IS WRONG! All females should come together in support of Carla.

Jacqueline

You will of course be upset Carla, but above all, don’t feel ashamed. You did what you had to do and until someone has been in your position and had to make that decision for themselves, they have no right to criticise you. Take strength from that knowledge. I am sending you my supportive thoughts and love. With others, I will be arguing for your return to your children as soon as possible – I will start by lobbying my MP. Look after yourself. Trish xxx

Patricia

I am horrified at the fact that you are facing prosecution for ending your pregnancy. Please know that I am on your side. I have campaigned for a woman’s right to choose in relation to abortion, nearly all my adult life. I will carry on doing so until women in the UK can be sure that abortion is safe and legally available to us, whenever we need it. Sending solidarity and love. Stay strong.

Bronwen Davies

I have read about your case and I hope you find justice.

Susan Francis
