Jane: An Abortion Service
This fascinating political portrayal of an almost unknown chapter of female history tells us about the Chicago women’s health group "Jane”, which carried out nearly 12,000 safe, but illegal abortions between 1969 and 1973. Members of "Jane” describe how they got more and more interested in feminist issues; clients report how they got to know "Jane”. Archive material about the oppression of women in the early 1960s and about the development of social movements in the late 1960s demonstrates how "Jane’s” activities were influenced by them.
