'I can’t describe how scary it was.'
, Heather had helped a friend’s sister find a safe doctor to perform an abortion. Like with a viral word-of-mouth tweet, word spread that Heather was someone who knew an abortion doctor, and a few weeks later, someone else asked her for help. “I was living in a dormitory,” Heather explained in the documentaryspoke to a woman who experienced a life-threatening pregnancy when abortion was illegal. We will call her Ann to preserve her anonymity.
. They should have given me an abortion to save my life, but they wouldn’t. Then one day I saw in the student newspaper a newspaper: 'Pregnant, need help? Call Jane.'"By 1968, Heather was receiving so many phone calls she realized that organization was needed, so she formed a group. In the early years of Jane, the women counseled, raised funds, screened underground abortion providers, and helped procure abortions for women who needed them in Chicago.
“It was terrifying,” Ann says. “I had to stand on a corner, wearing a red sweater so they’d know who I was. It takes a huge leap of faith to trust that you can get a medical procedure outside a medical office. I can’t describe how scary it was. A Jane picked me up in a car and blindfolded me. I was taken to what seemed like a motel room. The doctor made fun of me. There was no anesthetic; it really hurt. I remained blindfolded for the whole abortion.
