Trailer Synopsis Cast

By invalidating the Roe v. Wade decision, the American Supreme Court has taken a fifty-year leap back in time by ensuring that abortion is no longer a protected right. This setback is symptomatic of a disconcerting polarization. Disturbed by this historical situation, filmmaker and feminist Léa Clermont-Dion wonders: what effect will this legal setback have on us? The documentary “La peur au ventre” explores the rise of anti-abortion groups in Canada. The mobilization is taking place here and now, in Quebec. Throughout the story, the filmmaker also presents the feminist and pro-choice response that is being organized across the country.

The Janes

Defying the state legislature that outlawed abortion, the Catholic Church that condemned it, and the Chicago Mob that was profiting from it, the members of “Jane” risked their personal and professional lives to support women with unwanted pregnancies. In the pre-Roe v. Wade era — a time when abortion was a crime in most states and even circulating information about abortion was a felony in Illinois — the Janes provided low-cost and free abortions to an estimated 11,000 women.

Jane: An Abortion Service

This fascinating political look at a little-known chapter in women's history tells the story of "Jane", the Chicago-based women's health group who performed nearly 12,000 safe illegal abortions between 1969 and 1973 with no formal medical training. As Jane members describe finding feminism and clients describe finding Jane, archival footage and recreations mingle to depict how the repression of the early sixties and social movements of the late sixties influenced this unique group. Both vital knowledge and meditation on the process of empowerment, Jane: An Abortion Service showcases the importance of preserving women's knowledge in the face of revisionist history. JANE: AN ABORTION SERVICE was funded by the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funds provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
