Thinking of you. This treatment you are receiving is disgraceful. These ancient laws need revoking now. It is always women who seem to suffer at the hands of such injustice.
I cannot believe that, in 21st century Britain, women are being hounded for seeking an abortion. What you are going through is unforgiveable and should never happen in a civilised society. I wish you well and hope your nightmare is shortlived.
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
I’m so sorry your going through this. I can’t believe you are having to defend your right to choose what you do with your body. I stand with you and will speak up against your treatment. There are so many women who stand in solidarity with you and support your choices.
Katie, your life your choice, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, i wish you the best. Men should absolutely not be advising woman what to do with their body and woman should just shut up. opinions are like ass holes, we all have one, keep it to yourself.
Dear “Kate” I am so sorry for your troubles. would have expected some empathy. You should not be treated in this way. I’m shocked that a midwife would involve themselves in your business. Please be aware that the vast majority of the country support your right to bodily autonomy. Take care of yourself, and I will be hoping for a positive out come for you. With the best of wishes Lesley Edgley (an old granny in Wales)
I am so sorry that ‘Katie’ or any woman suffers such cruel behaviour by NHS and police system. To have to have an abortion is bad enough, without all of this criminalising it. Personally, I have never needed an abortion but have experienced such NHS cruelty when lying on hosp bed miscarrying an early foetus. After the curt nurse said that I had ‘finished bleeding’, she told me that I could ‘go home how’ as i was not pregnant. No kind words ar compassion. I was mid forties and had always very much wanted a baby – I was heart broken – but had to get up and make my way home alone. The pregnancy followed a date rape situation which was horrible but i accepted it (didn’t report it) wondering if i might have become pregnant. . . I do believe that men should be held responsible for every pregnancy esp when raped or coerced into having sex. Perhaps best if all men were neutered in early teens. This can be reversed in almost every case – and it is a simple quick minor surgery – much safer that all the contraceptives which women endure. Good luck to all women
