ASK FOR JANE – Review by Marilyn Ferdinand

May 21, 2019May 27, 2019 Marilyn Ferdinand (Archived Contributor) 0 Comments ask for jane, Cait Cortelyou, jane collective, rachel carey, roe v wade, truth-based

As a legal showdown over the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion looms, a modest, low-budget film from a first-time director reminds us of what life was like before Roe v. Wade. Ask for Jane tells the story of the Jane Collective, a Chicago-based abortion service that operated in the shadows from 1969 to 1973 to provide safe abortions to women before Roe made their work unnecessary.
