Are you okay?
They got the driver.
They got everybody who was working tonight.
Oh, my kids, my kids.
I know, I'm sorry.
They kept asking about the doctors.
I didn't tell them anything.
Our first night.

WOMAN: Hello no!
PROTESTORS: Don't go!
Hell no!
PROTESTORS: Don't go!
Hello no!
PROTESTORS: Don't go!
You can't have a comfortable life
if you wanna change things.
It can't happen.
You have to be willing to get arrested.
We have to be willing to sit in the jail cells
no matter the cost.

Rose.
Yes, Gary?
Would you mind getting us some coffee?
Sure.
Hell no!
PROTESTORS: Don't go!
Hell no!
PROTESTORS: Don't go!
Hell no. (CAMERA SNAPPING)
(SOMBER MUSIC)
How's the protest?
Did Gary make you get coffee again?
Yeah.
It's always the woman.
You notice that?
We go and protest so they don't have to go to Vietnam.
What do they do for us?
No, thanks.
I'm gonna go study.
See you later.
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
(WOMAN GASPING)
What happened?
Can everyone just go?
This is embarrassing.
I was lying in my bed and I saw her go in my drawer
and take a razor.
I needed a razor.
ROOMMATE: At five in the morning?
Are you okay, Pat?
She's upset because she has to drop out.
Cindy.
Why does she have to drop out?
My parents are really religious.
I can't go home like this.
So don't go home.
Where am I gonna go, Janice?
They'll kick me out of the dorms.
So get an abortion.
The mob charges like three thousand dollars.
My cousin had one and she almost died.
I heard about this one girl who got an abortion
and the guy doing it raped her.
Marie!
Can everyone just go?
Please.
It's fine, I got it.
I'll keep an eye on her.
GIRL: How do you know this will work?
There's this girl in this book who gets pregnant
and she's supposed to take rat poison to kill the baby
but she takes too much and dies.
How do you know you won't die?
Because in the book she's only supposed
to take a quarter cup but she takes a whole cup.
I'm just taking a quarter cup.
This is scary, Helen.
You can watch me and make sure nothing bad happens, okay?
Otherwise, I'll do this on my own.
GIRL: Okay.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
(KNOCKING)
Hey, Patty?
PATTY: Hey.
Are you going somewhere?
I talked to my mom, so...
I'm going home.
She said they'd take in the baby
but they aren't paying for college anymore.
Oh no, Patty.
It's okay.
I mean,
it's life,
right?
Are you sure you wanna go home?
You could stay.
College was supposed to be my way out of there.
But there is just no way out.
You aren't gonna try anything when you get home,
are you?
What?
What did you say?
(PHONE DIAL CRANKING)
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Hello, Nancy?
Hi, it's Rose from Biology.
Uuuh...
I know you were in nursing.
Do you know anyone who does abortions?
Real doctors, no mob guys.
Okay.
Thank you.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Is that okay?
Can you wait a day or two before you go home
just to see if we can find someone?
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Yes, yes, this is.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Yes, we can pay that.
(KNOCKING)
Do you think we could get together
a thousand dollars for Patty?
By when?
Tomorrow.
Let's see who's awake.
(KNOCKING)
Oh.
Which one of you is the one that called?
Oh,
me.
I told you to come alone into the back.
No you didn't.
If there's more than three people
in a room discussing abortion,
it's conspiracy to commit murder
which is a far more serious charge.
Do you understand?
We can wait outside.
It's too late now.
Come on in.
Come on in, come on in.
(SIGHING)
Do you think he's a real doctor?
This is a doctor's office.
Yeah but it could be someone else's and he might sneak in.
No, stop it.
No.
(SIGHING)
In a couple of days,
you'll notice a heavier flow than usual.
That's the miscarriage.
Any fever, any infection, call me.
Now, you ladies need to start keeping your legs together.
This wild behavior just leads to trouble.
Doctor, if we had any other friends that needed this,
can we give you a call?
I don't wanna see any of you ever again.
Okay.
Thank you, doctor.
Stop.
The back door is that way.
PATTY: Thank you.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
MAN: I don't understand what you're asking.
I want to take over the sex education program, update it.
Clearly our kids aren't getting
the basic information that they need.
Such as what, exactly?
What basic information does someone need at 15?
Birth control?
We just had a student die from drinking rat poison.
No.
We don't know that she was pregnant.
Her friend said...
I know what her friends said.
I also know that Sister Ann Marie has been doing
our health eduction program for 30 years
and in all that time we have not had
one complaint from a parent.
Not
one
complaint.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
So the first thing Sister Ann Marie does
is to separate the boys from the girls
and then she talks to the girls
about how they have to protect their virtue
so they can save the boys' souls
and then just moves on to cleanliness during your period.
Just makes me crazy.
You should just hide a pamphlet about birth control
in the school library.
It's hard enough hiding you.
Oh, here.
Let me help you with that.
Oh, thank you.
I saw you at the meeting last week.
Gary's pretty passionate.
Yeah, he's got some pretty interesting ideas.
But I don't think we're gonna get anywhere
with burning things down.
- Doesn't seem practical. - No.
I'm Bill, by the way.

(LAUGHING)
So how would you feel about
going to grab some coffee sometime?
Well,
it doesn't have to be coffee.
Well, in that case,
(LAUGHING) yeah, that'd be great.
Doesn't have to be coffee.
(WATER TRICKING)
(KNOCKING)
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Not pregnant.
It took two days for it to happen like the doctor said.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CRYING)
CINDY: It's okay.
I'm just so happy to have my life back.
I need the number.
What number?
For the doctor.
I wanna give it to all the women in the dorm
in case they need it.
But he said not to call him again.
He won't know that we're the ones that gave it out.
Just in case they need help.
I don't think we should give out his phone number
without warning people he might get mad.
So you're okay with women just dying because they don't...
Of course not.
But he could report us to the school.
So what?
We have to think of something else.
Ugh.
MAN: You did this on purpose.
You really think I would do this on purpose?
That's what women do, okay?
They want a guy to marry them, they'll do anything.
Why the hell would I want to marry you?
Fuck you, Barb, okay?
Why don't you just put it up for adoption?
I can't, that would kill my mother.
MAN: Then don't tell her.
What, you want me to not see her for six months?
So get an abortion.
What, you think I just have an abortion doctor's
number just lying around?
I'm not gonna marry you, okay?!
That's the one thing I'm for sure as hell not doing!
(SOMBER MUSIC)
You two coming?
Yeah.
Oh, no,
we're organizing a walkout tonight at the law school.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah?
Okay.
See you there, Rose.
I'm coming.
Good thing you have that abortion doctor's phone number.
For Bill?
He's Catholic.
How Catholic?
I don't know.
We've only been on three dates.
You two are gonna get married and move to the suburbs
and have a bunch of babies.
Aren't you?
No.
Maybe.
What if I did it from my room?
Had sex?
No.
What if we had women call my dorm room for an abortion?
We give out my phone number.
And we can tell them to ask for Jane.
So my name wouldn't be attached to it.
No one in the dorm is named Jane, right?
It would be anonymous.
Jane Doe.
And then I could explain about the doctor
and what to do and stuff.
You would do that from your dorm room?
Just for other students.
It would only be a couple of calls a year, right?
(SOMBER GUITAR MUSIC)
You have to go, you're not supposed to be here.
I have to go, I'm not supposed to be here.
(CHUCKLING)
Hey, can I drive you home after break?
You know, I'd cut through on my way to the east coast
and meet your mom.
(LAUGHING)
That's a long way out of your way.
Yeah, I know.
Just...
You know, I was also thinking that maybe we oughta
get married sometime.
We've only been dating for a few months.
I know.
Just thought I'd ask.
In case you met some cute farmer over the break.
You can say no.
Maybe.
Just don't tell my mom about this, okay?
It would be just between us.
Why?
I'm respectable.
(CHUCKLING)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Yes, this is.
Hold on.
You have to go.
I'm sorry.
Right now?
This is private.
I'm really sorry.
Rose.
This is Jane.
JANICE: You have to tell him.
No I don't.
I'll graduate in a few months
and we'll hand it off to someone else.
Who?
Janice, where are your bags?
We have to beat traffic so we can get to the airport.
JANICE: Just a sec, Mom.
That that what you're wearing for the trip?
Let me look at your hair.
Oh, you cut it yourself.
Have a good Thanksgiving.
Kill me now.
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
BILL: Wow.
Looks like a movie set from 1920.
ROSE: That's pretty much what it's like to live here.
So, Rose,
over the break,
how would you feel if I picked up some kinda
birth control, condoms or...
I don't wanna pressure you or anything.
Me, you're the Catholic one.
What? We're engaged.
Close enough, right?
I just thought...
I mean, I can too.
I mean, I can look into finding some kind of...
BILL: Oh, there's your mom.
Oh, you're home!
(CHUCKLING)
And this must be the nice young man who gave you a ride.
Yes, Mom, this is Bill.
Well, come on in, we'll get you a cup of coffee.
Where you headed?
Pittsburgh area.
Oh, well, we won't keep you too long.
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
You couldn't invited him to stay for dinner.
If I had invited him to dinner,
I would have had to invited him to stay the night.
He's not staying under the same roof
as my unmarried daughter.
It's almost 1969.
He seems like a very nice young man.
I would have no problem if you married him at some point.
But you know how these things go.
No, Mom, how do they go?
You marry and have children
and the last thing on your mind will be your own career.
And I want you to be able to support yourself.
When your father died...
I had a very tough time.
You can postpone all of that
as long as possible.
I'm engaged, Mom.
(KNOCKING)
So I've gotten engaged.
Congratulations.
And I was just wondering
if you would be willing to write me a prescription
for birth control.
Oh, I see.
Well, I appreciate the honesty
but until you're actually married,
I'm afraid I wouldn't be comfortable doing that.
But we haven't done anything.
I'm just trying to be careful.
I think the best thing to do is to pray
and if you really can't control yourself,
you can always move up the date of the wedding.
I know.
I just wanted to become a teacher before I have children.
I mean, I want children, just not right now.
Well, these things work in mysterious ways
and you may change your feels about...
Dr. Johnson, I'm 22 years old.
That's older than my mom was when she married my dad.
So?
So,
if I was married and I asked for the pill,
would you give it to me?
I would if you had your husband's permission.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Tim.
Tim, come here for a photo.
Just give me a minute.
MAN: If I knew what was going on,
I would've had you move up the day of the wedding.
Sorry, Dad.
Tim.
Let's do a photo with the ladies, huh?
If I had known what was going on,
I would've helped you get an abortion.
That's it.

(PLEASANT MUSIC)
I'm just glad they made it out in one piece.
All the riots and the Democratic convention last year,
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a big city right now.
I set up a savings account for Janice
just in case she needs bail.
Hey, where's Rose?
I'll go get her.
Tell her she's the reason I'm graduating.
Oh, really?
Why is that?
Uuuh.
Yes, I know it's a lot.
Sometimes they'll do it for less
but you have to give them a sad story when you get there.
Just bring as much money as you have
and I'll call and followup afterwards, okay?
Okay, I have to go graduate from college.
But let me know how it goes, okay?
How much longer are you gonna do this?
When do you move out?
On Friday.
JANICE: Who's taking it over for you?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm sometimes getting three calls a night.
Who can I hand that off to?
It isn't even just students anymore.
You know who we should ask.
I want us to put concrete stuff into action.
- Hey, Gary. - Yeah?
Rose has some suggestions for that.
We were thinking we should put abortion on the platform.
Yeah, that's...
Like, our focus is on Vietnam
and the police state
and things where people are literally dying.
People die from abortions.
The things is, I've been helping women from my dorm room
and I was thinking now that I'm graduating,
maybe this group could help take it over.
Take it over how?
Do it!
You want ways for direct action, this is it.
Yeah.
That's...
Yeah.
You know what,
let's put it on the agenda.
Fuck him!
You know, if there had been a female leader in there,
this wouldn't have happened.
They would've taken us seriously.
Why are you being quiet?
Aren't you upset?
Where are we gonna find a tough female leader?
Me?
Are you crazy?
I get in trouble all the time.
I know.

(BABY CRYING)
Hi, we called this meeting because
we want to get organized.
We believe in women's liberation
and we think that women will never be fully liberated
unless they can control whether and when they get pregnant.
That's what this meeting's about, abortion,
so if anyone has a problem with that,
you should probably leave now.
We're going to do abortions.
No, no.
We are going to create a service
so that any woman who needs an abortion can get one.
We want to compile a list of doctors.
Right and if any of the doctors from that list
treat women poorly or give them a hard time,
they get struck from the list.
But won't we get in trouble for this?
Potentially.
So, as long as you're doing anything
for this organization,
you will be referred to as Jane.
There are no Janes in room, right?
How do you know you're gonna find real doctors?
We'll hold interviews.
But right now I've only got two names.
So we need you guys to start collecting every name you can.
Do any of you know anyone who's had an abortion?
Would you mind asking?
How're you doing?
Was that okay?
It was good.
What is it?
How do you feel about abortion?
Why?
If you got pregnant, we could get married sooner and...
No, I meant that's what...
The phone calls to my room in college,
it was women looking for an abortion.
I have the number of an abortion doctor.
I knew you were Catholic so I was afraid to tell you.
Why, did you have one?
Me, no.
I found someone for a friend.
But I want to keep being involved with that.
You could get in trouble for this.
Possibly.
Rose, I love you
and I respect that you're trying to help people
but this is your whole life you're putting at risk.
I know but...
I feel like it's my responsibility to help.
Can you promise me you'll quit when we get married?
I don't know.
I mean, I wanna run for office
and this is a team effort here, you and me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Okay.
Okay, I'll quit once they're able to do stuff without me.
What do you think?
Well, I think it's illegal.
You could lose your job.
Yeah, if I walk around asking everyone
for the name of a good abortion doctor.
Right, so,
does that mean you don't wanna help them?
Cause I wanna help them.
It's not that I don't wanna help.
I just...
'Cause I had one.
Once, when I was 17
and the guy took all the money that I had and...
DONNA: What?
And I almost died from the infection
and now I don't know if I can even have kids.
And I don't know if I even want kids but
that guy took that from me, you know?
(MEN WHISPERING)
MAN: Hey, honey.
Hi.
So they're discussing what they can do.
The tumor is in exactly the wrong place.
I know.
So,
they're afraid that anything they do to remove it might
cause you to lose the baby.
But if they don't do anything I could die.
Well did you tell them that I have two kids at home
and that I want to live?
Yes but it's hard to talk to them,
they don't wanna take the risk.
Excuse me?
Excuse me?!
I want you to do it.
I used to be a nurse.
I understand that there's a risk
that I will lose the pregnancy but
I have two kids at home
and I need to be there for them.
So please?
Please, just operate.
We'd like to speak with your husband outside.
It's okay.
(MUTTERING)
Here you go.
Literally everyone I know thinks I'm pregnant right now.
Thank you.
And here's mine.
Thanks, Barb.
Six names.
Anyone else?
Think that's enough start?
Has to be, right?
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
You're Jane?
We both are.
You're both Jane?
I'm not comfortable with the idea
that you're gonna use me so you can go out and get pregnant.
No, no, no, it's not for us.
Abortion is a serious procedure and it's a crime.
I mean, why would you look for a doctor
before you got pregnant?
So, do you have your medical license?
Excuse me?
Your medical license, we just need...
I'm the one who interviews the girls,
they don't interview me, you understand?
We're not planning on getting pregnant.
DOCTOR: Who is?
No one.
No one is planning to get an abortion.
I've had it with this, get out.
But if someone didn't plan of getting pregnant
and their birth control failed,
isn't it better that they come in right away
instead if trying it home alone with a coat hanger?
Which is why I agreed to do these
because I've stitched up women who've almost died.
Do you understand?
Yes, but we're just...
I take you or I don't and I charge what I want.
That's the way I do things.
Then you're not the right person for us.
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
So can we add your name to our list?
(CHUCKLING)
I haven't lost a patient yet, not one.
That's good.
If somebody says that anybody died under my care,
they're lying.
Thank you.
We'll be in touch.
We don't have anyone lined up yet.
Wait a minute,
you guys wasting my time?
Which one of you is pregnant?
No, like I said on the phone.
Are you guys working for the police?
No.
Are you working for the police because if you are,
I will fucking kill you!
I will find out where you live and I will fucking kill you!
(EXCITING GUITAR MUSIC)
Okay!
Get out of the fucking car right now!

if you don't get the hell away!
(HORN HONKING)
DOCTOR: I'm gonna find you
and I'm gonna fucking kill you!
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
He didn't follow us.
He could call and try to track the phone number.
Rose, I'm from New York, all right?
People who make big threats like that
is because they can't actually do anything.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
I'm scared.
Yeah, me too.
So there are three doctors willing to work with us.
What're their prices again?
One thousand, 800 and 750.
That's a year's rent.
It's extortion.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
You girls okay?
- Yes, thank you. - Yes, thanks.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
How're you beautiful ladies doing tonight?
We're not interested.
Interested in what?
Whatever it is you're selling.
(LAUGHING)
Is either one of you Jane?
Are you the doctor?
Yeah.
You're the doctor?
Me, yeah.
Got my medical license and everything.
I've been doing a lot of these
since my medical practice got shut down.
Why did your medical practice get shut down?
Because I was doing a lot of these.
How did you get into this?
Money was good.
I live in a town where my regular practice
could barley keep a roof over my head,
so I did a few of these, I got busted,
don't worry, I'm much better at keeping it a secret now.
How much would you charge, mister...
Charlie, Doctor Charlie.
Well, because Dr. Charlie,
we can't pay very much.
How many girls you think it will be?
A couple a month?
We're not sure but it could be as high as
two or three a week.
A week.
I can do 500.
You girls are awful organized.
Are you hookers?
No.
We just believe it's the right thing to do.
Oh,
are you women's libbers or something?
Yeah.
You got a problem with that?
I don't have a problem with anything you do.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
What is it?
Since I work at a coffee shop,
I can't always be here during the day,
so I got a second phone line installed it in my apartment.
This is an answering machine.
People call in and then a voice tells them
to leave a message and then they talk.
A voice.
(CLICKING)
ROSE RECORDING: Hi, you've reached Jane
at "Women's Liberation."
Please leave a phone number where you can be reached
along with good times to call and any other instructions
or information we might need to know
immediately following this message.
(CHUCKLING)
That's spooky.
If you want to break up with me,
this us what happens when you break up with me.
What, you're not gonna talk to me now?
Just take me home.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
I still do consider you my girlfriend.
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
If we're doing something illegal
we should think like criminals.
Like mob guys, how would they do it?
I have no idea.
You know who might?
I don't really know any mob guys but
if I did,
here's how they'd do it.
He knows mob guys.
We'll have two locations,
a place for the abortions and a front
because women may show up with family, friends,
so everyone but the woman can stay at the front
and then a driver can take her to a place for the procedure.
Also, this doctor said that he wants
all the women to be blindfolded
when they get the procedure done.
Well, that's rough on them.
His rule, not ours,
but all the doctors we spoke to wanted it that way.
Janice said that we can start with her apartment
as the front.
So,
guess we should just be focused on getting the word out.
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Yeah.
The number for this has changed.
Can you let everyone know
that the number for this has changed?
Everyone in Chicago?
Okay, hold on.
I'll give you the new one.
You have to go?
Yes.
Right now?
It's a meeting for the service.
You said you were gonna quit.
I am.
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
We got 15 calls this week.
That's a lot.
So I was thinking,
instead of me calling them all back,
we could divide them up.
Each of us could council a couple of them,
make sure they wanna go through with it
and set up the appointment.
What do we say?
30 year old mother of four, six weeks pregnant.
I got a 20 year old college student, three weeks.
Yours is easier.
Maybe.
Well what do I say to a mother of four?
I mean, I've never been a mother.
I don't know.
Ugh.
I hate phone calls to strangers.
Donna,
just do it.
Yes, go.
I'm not good at this.
MAGGIE: Stop.
Edna, crackers.
Jack, honey, spoon. (PHONE RINGING)
Not fingers.
It's lunchtime, sweetheart.
(CHILDREN SHOUTING)
Hello?
Hi.
This is Jane calling.
Hello?
What?
She hung up.
Well maybe it wasn't a good time.
Should I call back?
(CHILDREN PLAYING)
Please call back.
Please call back, please call back, please call back.
Please call back, please call back.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hi, is this Harriet?
This is Jane from Women's Liberation.
Oh, thank God.
Yeah, I know, I was nervous to call too.
I'm just starting this.
You know, we're here to listen,
so I can give you details about the procedure
or I can just talk or whatever.
I just, I can't, I can't.
Can't what?
(CHILDREN YELLING)
I can't have another kid.
Yeah,
I understand.
GIRL VOICE RECORDING: So, call me after eight.
I get home from work then.
That's my number.
Thanks so much.
Bye.
WOMAN VOICE RECORDING: Hello, this is...
Can I not say my name?
Can I just leave my number?
I'm gonna call back.
Hi, it's me again.
I just...
My family is really well connected
and I was trying to get the money to go to Europe for this
but now my father got suspicious
and he wants me to marry the guy who...
You know what, let me leave you my number,
I'm in Highland Park.
I don't want this one.
Super snobby, Highland Park.
I'll take her.
Okay, 19 year old not even sure she's pregnant.
I can take that one.
So we do a procedure called a D&C
and it's basically where we open up the uterus
and just scrape it out.
I went to this doctor who told me I had to marry the dad.
He basically said I was a slut
and that I needed to marry the dad.
Yeah, that's not always a good idea.
You wanna guess where the dad is?
Vietnam.
Prison.
Well,
look, I have a pamphlet all about the procedure,
so you know exactly what to expect.
You should read it.
I kinda wish I had that kind of information
when I was younger.
(BABY CRYING)
So this is your actual house and everything?
Yeah.
We wanna treat women like human beings.
And that's your actual kid and everything?
Yeah. (CHUCKLING)
Far out.
(KNOCKING)
Hey.
A couple more for tonight.
I know that you're officially off duty tonight
but Bill just told me his parents are in town.
Can you possibly take the girl I'm supposed to help tonight?
Yeah, which one was it?
Highland Park.
Really snobby.
Really?
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
Okay, this is where we ask for the money.
We ask you to give as much as you can
on the assumption that other women
may not have as much as you.
I don't have a lot.
Excuse me, and I don't usually do this to people,
but aren't you from Highland Park?
And you're telling me you couldn't get together $500.
I'm not living at Highland Park right now.
Okay, well wherever you're living,
I'm gonna have to send you home to get some money
because we have enough trouble helping women
who are legitimately poor.
I'm not living in Highland Park right now
because my parents kicked me out.
I mean, I don't think my dad believes in rape or something,
so I got together what I could.
It's not a lot but I'll pay more later when I can,
I promise.
Just please help me.
Put this on before we get there.
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
I'm scared.
This way.
Hey.
How're you doing tonight?
I'm okay.
Do you know how far along you are?
I'm four weeks.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Hey,
don't worry, you'll do great, okay?
If I hurt you, these girls are gonna bust me.
They're gonna take me to the police.
Isn't that right?
That's right.
You're in good hands.
So I'm gonna start with a local anesthetic.
It won't hurt that much, okay?
All right, you're just gonna feel a little pinch here.
(GASPING)
Hey, I'm gonna hold your hand.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
You have the antibiotics?
He gave you the ergotrate shot, right?
That should make the bleeding less bad.
Just do whatever he says and you'll be fine.
Okay.
You can take the blindfold off.
You okay?
Yeah.
Hey.
I'm sorry I yelled at you early.
It's just, when you called,
you reminded me of my mom.
She works at Vogue.
I love Vogue.
I hate Vogue.
(LAUGHING)
But I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Do you need any volunteers?
For your group.
(CHUCKLING)
(PLEASANT GUITAR MUSIC)
Everybody, this is Linda.
She's gonna be helping out.
Hi.
Maybe joining up.
So I have the cards because I'm "Callback Jane."
I take down the messages
and then I hand them over to "Big Jane."
That's me right now.
And she makes sure each woman gets assigned a councilor.
We've got a woman who's seven months along.
Anyone?
I'll take it.
You do them that late?
Nothing after the second trimester.
But we still have to talk to her.
Make sure she gets counseling
so she doesn't try to take things into her own hands.
We've got a 23 year old, two months.
Do I have to take someone?
No.
When people first start, we usually have them at the front
just talking to the woman and the families.
Do you think you could do that?
I think so.
Four months?
- Yeah. - Okay.
We used a condom.
And then...
When I told him that I needed money for this,
he said he can't because he's buying a boat.
A boat?
He sails.
He was saving up for a sailboat for the summer.
I hope you said what I would have said.
My dad punched me in the face when he found out.
So I'm gonna tell him that it made me lose the baby.
It's the only way to stop him from killing me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I didn't have much money.
So I tried to do it myself with a knitting needle.
I've got a tampon in or I'd be bleeding.
Oh.
I don't think you should have a tampon,
maybe if you wanna try a pad.
That would be better.
Oh, honey.
Uh, Janice?
Oh.
Oh, okay.
We can't treat you like this.
You have to go to the emergency room.
But I can't.
But you could get an infection or bleed out.
You have to come to the emergency room
but I'll have a driver take you, okay?
They'll arrest me.
So play dumb.
Say you got in an accident.
They'll stitch you up
and you can come back here another time, okay?
I can't.
I'll kill myself first, do you understand me?
Okay.
Okay, okay.
She will drive you to our doctor and we will see
if he can stitch you up, okay?
Okay?
Hi.
Hi, come with me.
Go on.

Hello?
WOMAN ON PHONE: I just want you to know
I know what you're doing.
Who is this?
WOMAN ON PHONE: You oughta be ashamed of yourself.
What is it that you think we're doing?
WOMAN ON PHONE: Getting rid of pregnancies.
Women are dying and we're trying to stop that.
WOMAN ON PHONE: They made their decisions
and they can live with them.
Well, what if they lose their jobs
or their places to live?
WOMAN ON PHONE: Well I think it's wrong
and I wanted to let you know that I'm going
to report you to the police.
Well... (PHONE CLICKING)
Hello?
Shit.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Rose, we have to talk.
I think we're in trouble.
(KNOCKING)
Didn't expect that I would be the one
picking out the wedding invitations.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I've been busy.
What is that?
I'm hiding it in here for Janice
but I may keep it in here for awhile.
What is it, Rose?
(SOMBER MUSIC)
So, you weren't arrested yet.
Anytime in the next week.
I don't know how I'll tell my mom.
She doesn't know anything.
Well, can you say you don't know these women?
Can you say you had nothing to do with it?
But it's...
I really feel that it's the right thing to do.
What about the rest of your life?
I mean, I'm running for office.
If this comes out about you.
I'm running in a Catholic neighborhood.
I know.
I...
I just don't understand why you're willing
to throw away your entire life for this
when all you have to do it quit.
I can't leave all those other women to take the blame
when it was my idea.
Your idea?
What do you mean, "your idea?"
Oh God.
Jesus Christ, Rose.
The newspaper's gonna have a field day.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Maybe nothing.
Rose.
I'm sorry but I...
We can't be married and have this hanging over us.
This is our whole future on the line.
You say that I'm not sticking with you.
Well, you're the one not sticking with me.
You have to say you're not involved.
I have to stick by everyone else.
(SCOFFING)
I can't do this.
You chose this without asking me.
You could've asked me first, you're supposed to be my wife.
I love you.
I know.
I can't do this, I'm sorry.
Rose,
if you do get arrested,
just say nothing.
All right, just wait for a lawyer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Maybe it's time that we get out of the shadows.
Announce that we're here.
JANICE: Now?
What do we have to lose?
I'm not scared.
Are you sure that that's in the best interest
of the women who come here?
You've been saying it for months.
People need to know this exists.
So we'll tell them.
No, no, what've been saying
is that I think it's in the longterm best interest
to change public opinion.
They're holding a big protest this weekend.
So we'll join in, hold up a sign.
An abortion service.
Okay, so you hold up a sign
and if you get arrested it's a statement
but for the women who come here, it's real life, okay?
They meet us here.
I'm not saying everyone has to do it.
Is anyone willing to do it with me?
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Well, what the hell, I'll bring my kid.
If you want a pamphlet, let us know.
Yeah, don't end up like me.
Hi, Jane.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
That's funny.
What's funny?
Wow.
Right there in the paper.
I wanna help them.
Okay.
They're really good.
You're gonna be fine.
Were up to 30 women a week now.
A lot of them are poor.
Abortion was legalized in New York State last year.
People who have 300 bucks take a bus to New York.
So we're left with the people who can't afford that.
(WOMEN CHATTERING)
(KNOCKING)
Can I help you?
Yeah, I found a jumper on the bridge on Michigan Avenue.
I thought I'd bring her here.
Listen,
you know,
a lot of the guys, we know what it is that you do here.
We don't have a problem with it.
Most of us.
But you can't keep going like this forever.
My advice would be to lay low.
Lay low?
If you stick your head out and give my lieutenant
any reason to arrest you, he's looking for that.
You understand me?
Yes.
Okay.
You can...
It's okay.
This is Laura.
She's 14.
I'm gonna leave her here, okay?
All right.
Hi, Laura.
Come on in, Donna, close the door.
Take a seat.
I have something pretty serious to discuss with you.
Okay.
We're a Catholic community.
I understand that.
And I understand that you have been doing things
that are not in the spirit of the Catholic community.
Okay,
can you clarify what I did?
A student said...
There's been some kind of rumor
that any students who wanna can come to you and...
Get that.
Oh, that.
Yeah, well at least it's accurate information.
You don't understand what I'm telling you here.
You're fired.
Excuse me?
You're not keeping with the trad...
No, listen!
In the last 10 years before I started here,
we were losing five or six girls a year
to dropping out or mysteriously going to Europe
or to a home somewhere
for lack of this really basic information
that they're not allowed to have until when?
When they're married?
Not when it's a life and death issue,
the way it is when you're 15?
You must've noticed that in the last two years,
we have only had two girls get pregnant.
That means that maybe five or six girls where saved
by just knowing these basic facts about their own body.
We got a parental complaint, Mrs. Lisnewski.
So if you have some kind of radical agenda,
I'm afraid you're going to have to take it elsewhere.
We don't want those kind of ideas in Lake Forest.
Now if you'll do me the enormous favor
of taking that with you when you leave.
Thank you.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
(ENTRY BELL RINGING)
Linda.
You aren't returning our calls,
your mother's worried sick.
I don't wanna talk to you.
I'd like to know what happened to the baby.
I lost it.
This is not how we do things in this family.
This is not acceptable.
Turn around when I speak to you.
I was raped, Dad.
A lot of misunderstands happen between good people.
He's not a good person.
He's been coming by the house.
He's very sorry.
If you would just sit down and talk to him.
You wanna know something?
I am happy and if you loved me,
you would be happy that I'm happy.
I would be happy when I see you settle down.
This isn't the 18th century.
You don't have to marry me off to some bachelor.
I'm happy right here right now with my life.
And I may never get married.
And then what?
What will you do with yourself?
I'll have a life.
I'll have a career.
You and mom have spent your whole lives
doing exactly what was expected of you.
Now you're mad that I'm free
and I don't have to listen to you.
But I'm in control of my life and I like it.
That's always what people say
right before they ruin their lives.
Go.
Please.
(ENTRY BELL RINGING)
Jacqueline McKinna, nine weeks.
Thursday.
By the way, I don't know if we need more volunteers
or what but I'm starting to get complaints
from some of the Janes that they're working too hard.
- Hi. - Hi.
How was your first night at the place?
Um...
I need to talk to you.
I told you that I used to work as a nurse, right?
You don't need that much for it to be affective.
Take it easy, princess, I know what I'm doing.
When did you graduate from med school?
1954.
How old are you?
35, how old are you?
So you graduated when you were 19?
Oh, did I say 54?
I meant 58.
He's not a doctor?
I mean,
maybe if he's doing the procedure okay, it doesn't matter.
He's not a fucking doctor!
I don't know.
Where's she going?
(DOG BARKING)
Hello, Doctor Charlie.
Oh, here we go.
You're not a doctor?
You knew you were gonna say something, I knew it.
You lied to me!
You're not a fucking doctor!
I'm better than most doctors because I do this every day!
And you are out of your goddamn mind
if you think I'm ever bringing a single woman to you
ever again!
Let me get a second, all right?
You girls came to me.
Remember that, huh?
Have I hurt anybody?
Have I let a single patient die?
I'm nothing like the guys you're gonna find out there.
What? You're in it for money.
You said so yourself!
Isn't that part of your cause?
Is that what this is about?
I make money because I need to eat.
Let me tell you a little something.
I've been threatened for what I'm doing here.
Okay, the mob guys don't love that I'm underselling them
and I've been threatened with a bullet,
so I'd like a little respect!
You can't even admit you did anything wrong.
Because I didn't do anything wrong!
We're all criminals in this room
and that included all of you.
Let's go, we're leaving.
Janice.
We can find somebody else.
For his prices, not likely.
Anyone we find will probably also be a fucking liar.
Well, he didn't actually hurt anybody, right?
We lied to all of those women!
We told them that they're safe here.
And instead we took them to some back alley con artist?
With a fake medical license!
I was sexually molested when I was 13.
This 35 year old man from my synagogue,
and I was 13,
and he...
And my mom got him kicked out of the synagogue immediately
because she's this tough Jewish woman
and I always respected her for that
but when I needed to talk to her about it,
she wouldn't.
She made me swear never to tell anybody
because she knew I would be treated differently
and she's right.
And that is bullshit!
Why is it that men do this stuff to us
and we're the ones that have to deal with the consequences?
(KNOCKING)
Can I get a minute here?
Why?
Because I can tell you the truth, okay?
I never really had a job.
I was always doing something illegal.
When I was 14 I was working for a bookie but.
I learned abortions from these mob guys in LA.
They had a system for their hookers.
Look, I'm sorry I lied, okay?
But, honestly, I could make a lot more money
doing this for anybody else
and I like being apart of this.
So you're telling us you're able to do all of that
without a medical license?
It's not that hard if you know what you're doing.
So, can you teach it to us?
What?
ROSE: To all of us in the group?
Are you out of your mind?
Do you have any idea the penalties you're facing for that?
Jail time you're facing if you do that.
If you teach us, we can do the simple ones
and you can do the hard stuff.
Why would you wanna do that to yourselves?
There are women who can't afford 500 dollars.
We're getting 30 women a week now.
If you take the tough cases, we'll take the rest
and we can do it for a lot less money.
Yeah but you're gonna need to buy equipment.
You need medical supplies, you need anesthetic.
I wanna be taught first.
All right, so our job is just to get access
so we can tear the amniotic sac, okay?
We start with a shot of ergotrate.
It helps keep them from hemorrhaging afterwards.
And it's four shots of Zylocaine to help numb the pain.
Okay?
This is a curette.
Kinda looks like a spoon, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
So?
What's it like?
I don't know.
Women's bodies are always in men's hands.
I always went to a male doctor.
But this was us
doing it for us.
I don't know what it was like for her
but...
I know how it all works in there now.
You know what's funny?
Midwives have probably been doing this
for thousands of years
and they just didn't talk about it.
Yeah, well, I wish they had
because it's a lot harder to figure it out for ourselves.
I wanna learn next.
If we're gonna get serious about this,
we have to find a different place and a different front.
We can't use our apartments anymore.
How do we pay for that?
We could charge the women 20, maybe 30 dollars
just to cover the apartments and the supplies.
Do we pay ourselves?
Like as employees?
I mean, this is work.
I got fired from my other job
and I was already spending as much time here as there,
so, if you guys gave me a salary...
No.
Why?
Women's work is always undervalued.
We're expected to just do things for free?
This is crazy, no.
If we pay ourselves, we're not councilors,
we're abortionists.
That's already going to be the case.
We wouldn't make a profit, I'm not talking about...
Do you know how much jail time we'd be facing?
We're already facing jail time.
I think you're just saying that
because you're unemployed right night.
Well, what about you, you're pregnant.
So?
Have you ever considered how that makes the women feel,
to show up here and look at a pregnant lady?
I think that it shows that we're inclusive of all women.
I actually agree.
I don't think pregnant women should be allowed
to work in this service.
Why am I just hearing about this now?
Yeah, we're hearing about a lot of things now.
Why didn't we know Charlie wasn't a doctor?
How long have you known about that?
Not that long.
Not that long?
How long?
You guys know all this stuff and you don't tell us anything.
We're risking everything being here.
I have a kid, I'm a single mom.
I'm not gonna risk her having to grow up without a mother
because you guys wanna do this for money.
Barb.
(DOOR THUDDING)
I wanna stay.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Thanks.
Do you think I'm making the right choice?
I think that's up to you to decide, not me.
I am.
I just wanted to say that.
A couple of months back I called you
and threatened to turn you in.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
I just...
My mom said that I would burn in eternal hell
if I ever got an abortion.
I know it's a sin, I just...
Ow.
Sorry.
It'll be over soon.
I still don't even believe in abortion.
This is different.
They all are.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DISTANT TRAIN HORN BLOWING)
That really wasn't so bad.
Good.
Okay, here are your instructions.
Take the antibiotics all the way to the end
and you should be fine.
But you need to check for infection.
If you show any symptoms, go to the emergency room.
Okay?
I thought you were going to stick a knife in me
and just slice around everywhere.
No.
That's what I heard.
I really shouldn't tell my aunt about this.
She is really religious.
But I just feel like I was tricked.
I mean, he said he wasn't going to have sex with me
and then all of a sudden he was inside of me
and he said, "I slipped."
So you were raped.
I wouldn't call it rape.
He says he feels really bad about it.
He wants to see me again.
I really shouldn't tell my aunt about this.
She is really religious.
Okay, okay, after I get off of work,
you and I are gonna have a long talk, okay?
Can you stay around?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
(CLICKING)
Is that?
Is someone tapping my phone?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Okay, well if this is the FBI,
I'd just like to say something.
I mean, I was,
I know a lot of you guys
were probably raised going to church and so was I
and in church they made everything sound so easy.
But it's not black and white.
And if anyone's listening,
I just wanna say,
if the sermons had been more like real life,
I might be able to take them seriously.
But as it is, we're all just doing
the best we can here, okay?
What were you thinking?
I know.
Don't...
Don't tell the other women, okay?
I just, it made me so angry.
Because they could've been listening for weeks.
And they're listening to people
tell the most intimate details of their lives, you know?
It just made me so angry.
Oh my God.
What?
You're turning into me.
(CHUCKLING)
You have your medications.
Is there anything else you need?
I need to go home to my daughter.
She was at the hospital today for surgery.
So what you could do since you're first starting
is just work at the front.
Talk to people, make sure they have everything they need.
Help watch the kids of any moms.
You said there's pay, right?
Not much.
You know but something.
I can drive you there.
(DOOR THUDDING)
(POLICE RADIO COMMOTION)
This is the police.
Everyone stay where you are.
Do not attempt...
Everyone listen to me, say nothing.
You're all under arrest.
Say absolutely nothing until you see a lawyer.
Oh, Jesus, my daughter is at the hospital.
Say nothing.
Just start with her.
MAN: She did this!
I told her it was illegal!
This isn't my fault!
OFFICER: Where is he?
Where the hell is he?
I don't know what you mean.
OFFICER: Yeah, sure.
He was looking for the doctor.
That's why he was asking about a man.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(EXHALING)
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Sorry about all this, you know.
I mean, to be honest,
you helped a lot of girlfriends and wives of the guys here.
But somebody called in a complaint.
Who called in a complaint?
Was it the FBI?
Somebody's aunt.
Brenda.
Brenda's aunt.
That sounds right?
"I better not tell my aunt, she's really religious?"
I talked to that girl for 45 minutes.
I guess she changed her mind.
I'm gonna smack her!
I'm gonna go to there house
and I'm going to beat her down!
Janice.
I'm not kidding, Rose, I'm gonna kill her.
She cried on me, I held her.
OFFICER: Turn right.
Guys, look, they're treating the patients worse than us.
Come on!
Ladies, you know how to walk!
Those are pregnant women.
Yeah, and we're college educated white girls.
Used to be a teacher.
So did I.
What subject?
Biology.
I was history.
Where did you go wrong?
Where did you?
MAN: You're looking at 110 years.
What?
110 years.
Would you like to make a signed statement?
No, what, no, asshole.
I'd like to call my mother!
Excuse me, what did you just say to me?!
Nothing.
That can't be right.
I thought five years was the maximum.
No, it's five years times the number of counts.
Oh my God.
(SIGHING)
OFFICER: Hey! (Banging)
Abortion ladies, your lawyer's here!
Did you call your mom?
Not yet.
Well, this lawyer's a friend of my mom's,
so she's probably gonna be annoying as hell.
I love you.
I love you all.
Everybody talks too much.
You guys didn't say a goddamn word to the police.
Not one goddamn word.
You are my favorite clients ever.
Now,
let's talk posting bail, okay?
Who here has the rich parents?
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Mom.
I thought you were dead.
I had to call your ex-boyfriend.
I'm sorry.
He had to let me in.
Said he hasn't seen you in months.
You're some kind of abortionist?
Nobody is gonna hire you to be a teacher now, you know that?
I don't know how anybody's gonna hire you for anything.
I wanted you to be an independent woman
and now you will have to depend on a husband
because you won't be able to earn a living.
And I don't know who would marry you now,
to be quite honest.
Mom, stop it.
No, I won't stop.
You don't know how tough the world can be.
But you're about to find out.
And I'm sorry for that but you did it to yourself.
I'm sorry...
Why, Rose?
Huh, for some women who weren't responsible enough
to take care of themselves?
These radicals have brainwashed you.
Was it that girl, Janice, from New York?
It was my idea.
You raised me to be strong and practical.
And strong Midwestern women do not ask
other people to solve their problems.
Well, I hope you are strong, Rose,
because you're gonna need it.
You're gonna need it.
I can't be there for you.
Not for this.
Hey.
Hi.
(SIGHING)
We didn't say a word about you.
Well, I appreciate that.
Still gonna skip town for a little while though.
Glad I got to say goodbye though
and you can tell them about me if you want.
They're not gonna find me.
We're not gonna say anything.
I don't even know your last name.
It's Jane.
(CHUCKLING)
(LAUGHING)
Oh, man.
Back alley con artist.
The best.
(LAUGHING)
Apparently we are "The Abortion Seven."
That's pretty cool.
It's not cool, we shouldn't even be in here.
Yeah, does your lawyer know that were meeting like this?
No.
But we were supposed to handle 20 women that night.
Half of them are still pregnant.
I thought maybe we could make some calls.
I don't feel good about this.
We're facing a 110 years.
No one's forcing anyone to do anything.
But it's not just those 10 women.
Mary said she could have the trial
postponed by a few months, maybe longer,
because there's talk of a case
making it to the Supreme Court
but in the meantime, the phone's ringing.
Oh no, no way.
All we're asking is if anyone is willing to continue
to provide the same services we did before.
This is crazy, the police know about us.
The police knew about us before.
We helped their wives and girlfriends, remember?
Yeah, this will directly affect sentencing thought.
We're supposed to show that
we've changed our minds
and that we feel guilty about our actions.
But we haven't.
Abortion shouldn't be illegal,
this is a political statement.
If we stop our work now, we imply that it should.
I'm sorry but I have kids
and I cannot spend an extra few years in jail
because you want to make a political statement.
I understand.
If no one wants to continue doing this,
I won't judge anyone.
We just need to know.
You always judge everyone.
Well I won't this time.
I swear.
Rose?
I'm in.
I'll keep helping.
I'm sorry, I feel like this whole time
we've been pretending that we can just ignore the system
and we'll never get caught or punished
but when you fight the system,
they catch you and fire you and arrest you
and I can't play this game
and pretend it's gonna happen anymore.
It happened.
We're caught.
I can't, I'm sorry.
Maggie.
I wanna stay.
Okay, fine, suit yourself.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
I have a family that I have to take care of.
I understand.
Maybe I'm stupid but
I never thought that we were gonna get caught.
And when we were, I was just waiting to regret everything.
But I don't.
Hi, I'm calling from the Chicago Women's Liberation.
Hi,
I'm calling from the Chicago Women's Liberation.
Yes,
the Abortion Seven, yes.
We were wondering,
we still have some women who need help
and we wanted to know if anyone would be willing
to donate a van and money to get them to New York.
(PLEASANT GUITAR MUSIC)
You would?
Just...
Why don't I give you our number
and when you call back, you can ask for Jane.
I saw these women on the news.
They...
They help women in situations like this.
Yeah,
the ones on the news.
They're still doing it.
I mean, they're white girls but they do a good job.
They won't take all your money either.
(SIGHING)
(WHISPERING)
WOMAN: I'm feeling a bit nervous myself.
(FAINT SINGING MUSIC)
Why didn't you ever tell me you guys broke up?
Oh, I don't know, with all the stress going on here.
You know, she's the only person I've ever dated,
so I have to learn how to date now, I guess.
I'm sorry.
Mm-hmm, thanks.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Hi, I don't mean to be rude
but maybe you guys should think about hiring
more black women here.
Because a lot of the women that come here are black.
Yeah, I know, we've thought about that.
You've thought about it.
We mostly recruit women who come in here.
And we think we felt bad about recruiting
people who are really broke,
which is most of the women coming in right now.
Mm-hmm.
And we thought that if we got arrested,
the police might be harder on black women, so.
All right, I'm just saying.
Thank you.
Hey.
How'd it go?
I'm okay.
It hurt a little but not too bad.
All right.
Let's get you home.
Okay.
Actually, one second.
I just wanted to say that if you need volunteers,
you can call me.
- Great. - Thank you.
Thank you.
ROBERTA: Let me give you my number.
Yeah.
(TELEVISION NEWS REPORT MUSIC)
The Roe V. Wade case, which was decided today,
uses the argument that privacy rights
protect a woman's right to an abortion.
(LAUGHING) (CLAPPING)
Yes!
I can't believe it.
So many women can finally get help.
And this is good for us, right?
(LAUGHING)
It might not be, we don't know.
Not for our case.
We'll see what Mary says.
(UPBEAT GUITAR MUSIC)
CROWD: Abortion is a woman's right!
Abortion is a woman's right!
(CHEERING)
Abortion is a woman's right!
They're protesting for us.
I'm proud of you, you know that?
PROTESTORS: Abortion is a woman's right!
Abortion is a woman's right!
A hundred and ten years.
I think that would be enough time
to do some very good organizing in prison.
But really, we could do a literacy program.
Yeah, we could do a crafts collective.
Job training.
Or we get raped and murdered.
What do you suppose abortion services are like in prison?
(CHUCKLING)
(LAUGHING)
Aaaah!
Crafts collective.
(GIGGLING)
MARY: Come on inside.
This behavior does not reflect what I consider
to be the decent values of the city of Chicago.
All of you young ladies have been behaving in a way
that I think any decent person would disapprove of.
Now, where are the pregnant women
who were brought in that night?
Have they had their babies?
None of them have had babies, your honor.
And how did that come to be?
MALE LAWYER: We're not really sure, your honor.
Are any of these women willing
to testify against this group?
Not at this time, your honor.
JUDGE: Not one?
MALE LAWYER: Not at this time.
Well, is there any proof of which of these women
actually committed the abortions?
Not definite proof, no.
We have the equipment.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Well,
given that the Supreme Court case of Roe V. Wade
has determined that this procedure is no longer a crime,
and given that the evidence against you is exceedingly thin,
I'm sorry to say I have to dismiss the case
and all charges against you.
You are free to go.
(THUDDING)
Yes!
(LAUGHING)
