Jane Collective
The Jane Collective was a group of women who helped other women get safe abortions in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was illegal in most places. It was kind of like a secret club where women could go if they needed help with getting an abortion.
The women in the Jane Collective learned about how to perform abortions safely, and they also helped women find doctors who could do it too. They would make sure the women were comfortable and safe throughout the process.
What they were doing was very risky, because if they got caught they could have gone to jail. But they believed that women had the right to make choices about their own bodies and their own lives.
The Jane Collective helped thousands of women get the care they needed, and their work helped pave the way for the legalization of abortion in the United States.
