[quote=Anonymous]To clarify about the Janes: During the pre-Roe days, they were an underground network of women in the Chicago area who helped women obtain abortions. There's a movie called The Janes about them. As I wrote above, I was part of a small secret group of women in Ohio who organized in 1973, the year the Supreme Court handed down the Roe decision. Abortion was legal in CA and NY. I drove women from Ohio to NY to obtain safe legal abortions from a doctor whose office was on the Upper East Side of NYC. He was an excellent doctor and a wonderful man. Our network of women collectively raised the money for the women in need. It was not at all illegal to do what I did in 1973. The secrecy was to protect women's privacy. These new laws in some states to make it illegal to do what I did in 1973 are inhumane. I haven't yet been asked to reinstate our old network but I probably will if called upon.[/quote]
