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.
You are not alone. The majority of people in this country support you. You are the victim of a ridiculous miscarriage of justice, but it will be put right for you and others eventually. Good luck and stay strong.
Woman to woman: stay atrong. Your fight is our fight.
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

My heart breaks for you and your children. Please stay strong and know that there are so many people standing with you. We won’t stop until we get rid of these archaic laws and make sure everyone can access safe healthcare when they need it, without fear. I’m so sorry this hasn’t happened in time for you, to this country’s shame. Sending love and strength, Ruth, Bournemouth

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.

We all stand with you, please don’t lose hope. What you’re going through is horrific – no one should have to face what you are. Please take strength from knowing how many people are on your side and will fight for you, and for all women facing this situation. You will get through this – I know how difficult it can be – but please just take things a day at a time. There is a whole community here to support you, we’re here for whatever you need.

Thinking of you Katie. It is absolutely disgraceful that you are being treated like this for using something that is perfectly legal, This is a situation that no man, or pro-lifer will ever understand. I’m sorry that you were betrayed by people that should have been looking after you. I hope it all goes well, and you are cleared of the ‘crime’.
