What’s happening to you Carla is an utter travesty. The way women in this country who are trying to exercise their rights in regards to their own health is utterly disgusting and something desperately needs to change. I’m keeping you in my thoughts Carla and hoping for the very best for you!

Lizzie

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

Ruth

With you in solidarity sister x

No-one should have a say over what happens within your body except YOU. This sentence is unjust and misogynistic. Women’s bodies are not baby carriers – we all have a right to bodily autonomy. We support you at this awful time and will not cease to campaign until abortion is completely decriminalised and you are free. Take heart!

Isabelle

You must have been desperate and you have my full sympathy.

Alan

On your side, have no fear.

Adam

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

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the ordeal you and those you love have undergone and the appalling treatment meted out by the, so called, justice system. I’m especially outraged by the remark that, if you’d pleaded guilty sooner, the sentence would have been suspended. I hope you are all able to survive until this brutal punishment is over, or better still revoked.

HARRIET

Sending you all the love in the world, what you’re going through must be unimaginably hard and it is completely unjust! We are fighting for you and a better world for women with full autonomy over their own bodies

Kezia

So sorry Carla that you have been incarcerated for something that has gone on since time immortal. I know it’s hard to get an abortion and you don’t always know how far into a pregnancy without a scan you are.. but to rip you from your family and criminalise you is outrageous. I’m so angry with the system that can send a woman to jail for controlling her body please know myself and thousands of people are thinking and hoping your sentence gets quashed soon xx
