The Janes
"They didn't have a choice."
Defying the state legislature that outlawed abortion, the Catholic Church that condemned it, and the Chicago Mob that was profiting from it, the members of βJaneβ risked their personal and professional lives to support women with unwanted pregnancies. In the pre-Roe v. Wade era β a time when abortion was a crime in most states and even circulating information about abortion was a felony in Illinois β the Janes provided low-cost and free abortions to an estimated 11,000 women.
