, after a Chicago mother was murdered on a city street corner. The next day, Manasseh and other group members brought chairs and a grill to that corner and started barbequing for local families and watching out for women and children in the area.
Manasseh said the Janes will work specifically in neighboring states with limited abortion access. They’ll wear T-shirts or other markers to identify themselves to those seeking reproductive care and will provide information about Illinois’ resources. Manasseh recalls an encounter she had with a woman in Mississippi while wearing her Jane T-shirt. The woman was pregnant and her fetus was seizing in her womb. But because of Mississippi’s restrictive abortion laws, there was nothing medically she could do in the state.
The original Janes operated in a time before legal abortion. Doctors taught these volunteers how to perform early-stage abortions themselves. The new group won’t practice this, Manasseh says, but the modern-day Janes will work closely with and connect patients to established reproductive health care centers.
