Advancing Reproductive Freedom: The Story of JANE, an Underground Abortion Service
Heather Booth created an underground abortion service before Roe v. Wade, called JANE (because at the time three people talking about providing an abortion was a conspiracy to commit a felony). Between 1965 and 1973, the women of JANE themselves performed 11,000 abortions. There is a documentary about this called The Janes, that was short listed for an Academy Award. This talk is often accompanied by a screening of the film (or showing the trailer).
