The Janes (HBO)


Recommended Posts

Excellent new doc about the Jane Collective, a network of women who worked to provide access to safe and affordable abortions at a time when it was illegal.  The best thing about this film is the women themselves, many of whom only agreed to participate when they saw that we were returning to the days of back-alley coat-hanger abortions.  I remember that era, but it was still shocking to be reminded of how little agency women had in those days, not only on the issue of reproductive choice, but many other things that are taken for granted today.
