“The Janes:” An Underground Abortion Network Before Roe

The Supreme Court will soon make a final ruling on Roe v. Wade and the future of abortion in America. "The Janes" is a new HBO documentary that takes us back to the late 60s and early 70s, when abortion was illegal and the Jane Underground Collective provided a space for pregnant women in Chicago to seek help.
