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 .

I am appalled to hear that you have been sentenced to a prison term Carla. I want you to know that I, and everyone I know, think this is a travesty of justice. This law is archaic and inhumane and needs changed. If there had to be consequences they should not have involved taking you away from your children. I will support all endeavours to have this sentence revoked. I cannot believe a woman can be taken from her family and imprisoned for the actions you took, actions taken in exceptional circumstances and in desperation. I am so angry about this miscarriage of justice. Thinking of you in this terrible time.
