Jane Program

On March 5 th, 2002 at 7:00 PM in Cone Chapel Students for Choice showed two films about abortion to an audience of 150. The first film, Misguidance, documents the deceptive practices of Crisis Pregnancy Centers.

The second film was a documentary about the underground, illegal abortion network Jane. Jane: An Abortion Service-Jane was an underground abortion network in Chicago that provided 10,000 women with safe but illegal abortions between 1969 and 1973. The film interviews the members who ran the underground network and some of the patients who received their abortions through the Jane service. Jane is a fascinating story of how a group of women managed to safely and secretly provide women with the right to choose when abortion was illegal.
