In
this video clip, Judith Arcana talks about how she first became
involved with the Abortion Counseling Service or "Jane".
Today, Judith is a writer and college professor. You may read
samples of her abortion writings HERE.
The
Abortion Counseling Service began as an underground referral
group. Eventually Jane members decided to perform the abortions
themselves.
Former
Jane members estimate that they performed more than 11,000 illegal
abortions. Working under difficult clandestine conditions, Jane
became legendary on the streets of Chicago for the quality of
its care and the dedication of its members.
