Episode 51 - The Jane Collective - aka Chicagos Underground Abortion Network

We are back after our summer break and ready to dive back in. Deanna brings it this week telling us all about The Jane Collective, which was a pre-Roe v. Wade group in Chicago that helped give women access to safe and affordable abortions. We love a women supporting women moment. So tune in to find out all about this underground group that helped thousands of women in a time that currently seems all too familiar.
