The Janes

A glimpse into where we will head again without Roe VS Wade. A glimpse into the life of women before abortion became legal. LEFT OR RIGHT you should watch this for some insight.

The Janes is a well told and compelling documentary about a group of women in Chicago who helped women who needed abortions in the pre-Roe era get them Highly recommend,

Did you know that Cook County Hospital had a specific ward just for women who had botched abortions? The doctor here says some days they would get up to 30 women a day through the ER and too many unnecessary deaths.

These women are incredible. They must be so angry and astonished that the Court has overturned the decision. This film makes me wonder if a similar underground will evolve.

This is a movie what everybody should watch in the United States of America!

Very well made with astonishing original documentary films, witnesses who lived and survived the darkness of the era when abortion, civil rights, protests, personal freedom were against the law. Especially younger people must see this masterpiece. They will understand where are our freedom of choice is coming from and what will happen with our country, people, women if the abortion, protest, freedom of choice will be illegal in the USA again. Our country will be heading into the hell, period.

No matter where you stand on abortion, this documentary is an essential watch. It lays bare, succinctly, the struggle and wherewithal these women (and men!)had to address the desperate situation many women found themselves in. The hypocrisy still lives even today ( catholic priest condemning abortions while probably molesting their alter boys). These women, even beyond race, class, or economic status, fought in solidarity to provide ( and give) an alternative. They also took back control of their bodies, literally and metaphorically. Watch it...learn...empathize!!
