Some 50 years ago, before the landmark US Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion, a group of women on the South Side of Chicago worked underground, providing illegal abortions to desperate women in need. READ:
“We were just regular people,” said Eileen Smith, a former member of the Abortion Counseling Service, a group more commonly known as the “Janes.”
Weeks after the bombshell leak of a Supreme Court draft document detailed how a reversal of Roe v. Wade could be on the way, a TV documentary is chronicling the risky work the Janes were doing during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ms. Scott and six other members were arrested but were released after a night in jail and never convicted.
Shortly after their arrests, the Roe v. Wade decision came down and the need for the Janes was no more.
