Jane Collective
The Jane Collective or Jane, officially known as the Abortion Counseling Service of Women’s Liberation, was an underground abortion service which operated in Chicago, Illinois from 1969 to 1973. The collective was started by a group of women in an effort to address the increasing number of unsafe abortions being performed by untrained persons that often had no medical experience at all. Since illegal abortions were not only dangerous but very expensive, the founding members of the collective believed that they could provide women with safer and more affordable access to abortions. During the years which Jane operated, the collective performed more than 11,000 abortions in Chicago. The collective disbanded after ''Roe v. Wade'' made abortion legal throughout the United States in 1973.
== Origins ==
Organized in 1969, the Jane Collective was an effort to provide abortions, as well as abortion counseling, to any woman who was in need of their services. The collective originated with University of Chicago student Heather Booth, who helped her friend's sister find an abortion provider. The founders of Jane initially focused their attention on providing women access to competent physicians willing to provide abortion services. They found a physician they called "Mike" who was willing to work with them. After creating a close relationship with Mike they found out that he actually wasn't really a physician, but the techniques he used were safe and effective.〔''Jane: Documents from Chicago's Clandestine Abortion Service 1968-1971'' Firestarter Press, 2004〕 The women of Jane then decided to cut out the middleman and perform the abortions themselves. Mike taught the women his technique, and from then on the women performed the abortions themselves. The women were taught several methods, such as the cannula method for early stage abortions, and the super coil method used in later stage abortions which caused the women to miscarry, but the most widely used was the D&C (dilation and curettage) method. The D&C method involved the opening of the cervix and the insertion of a curette that was used to scrape the walls of the uterus to extract the fetus and placenta.〔''The Story of Jane: the Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service'' Laura Kaplan, University of Chicago Press, 1995.〕
The Jane Collective was a member organization and work group within the Chicago Women's Liberation Union.
