How Jane Collective's Founder Heather Booth Is Coping With a Post-Roe v. Wade Reality
15.06.2022 - 22:25 / glamour.com
Roe v. Wade Chicago, and a subject of a new HBO documentary of The Janes, was a speaker at this year’s edition of Burch’s Summit. A lifelong organizer, Booth refuses to bend to pessimism, but she understands the threat of illegal abortion all too well.
“Certainly, it’s tragically likely that there will be women who are desperate and either do damage to themselves or go to someone else who does damage to them,” she told me. And she understands that the end of Roe could spell the end of a host of other rights. “The dismantling of women’s freedom is also a dismantling of democracy itself,” she said.Backstage in the greenroom, I spoke with Booth about a post-Roe v.
Wade future, what we can do to protect women’s reproductive rights, and how to prevent the further dismantling of democracy. Her answer, as ever, is to organize.How does it feel, 50 years after Roe v. Wade was made the law of the land, knowing that we’re potentially going back to the world that you experienced as a founder of the Jane Collective?Heather Booth: It’s a challenging moment, because there is a politicized, really MAGA, faction that is threatening women, threatening this most intimate freedom of a person’s life about when or whether or with whom we have a child, threatening our freedom to vote, threatening a freedom for who we can marry—there are many threats right now.
But it’s also true that there is a vital movement for justice, equality, and fairness in society. And that while there’s a push back on some of the advances that matter a great deal and we need to organize in response to it, there is also a resilience.There’s overwhelming support for retaining Roe. Eighty percent of the country believes that a politician shouldn’t get between a woman and

‘The Bear,’ Starring ‘Shameless’ Breakout Jeremy Allen White, Tackles Restaurant Chaos With Empathy: TV Review
Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticOne of the greatest delights television has brought me over the years is any show that knows how to lovingly film a plate of beautiful food, turn the sound up to 11 to hear it sizzle, and trace its origins to the family dinner table from whence it came. Few things can bring people together like food, and few pleasures in this world like taking a bite of something so delicious it makes your eyes water just to know it exists.“The Bear,” FX’s new series about talented young chef Carmen (Jeremy Allen White of “Shameless”) going home to run his dead brother’s sandwich shop in Chicago, is highly attuned to what makes a gorgeous dish.

How ‘The Janes’ gave 11,000 illegal abortions ahead of Roe v. Wade
woman seeking an illegal abortion. “My first day of learning how to assist was the day I got arrested,” Smith, now 71, told The Post. But Smith was more concerned about protecting the identities of the women she helped end unwanted pregnancies than facing 110 years in jail on 11 counts of abortion and conspiracy to commit abortion.“We didn’t want the names and telephone numbers of [our clients] to be given to the police,” explained Smith, a Queens native. “So we ripped the cards into pieces and ate all the parts that were relevant.”Smith had joined an underground abortion network called Jane, whose members went by the alias “the Janes.” They covertly terminated more than 11,000 unwanted pregnancies in four years — all while under the threat of retribution from the cops, the mob and the Catholic Church — before getting caught. Now, 40 years later, their story is being told in the HBO documentary “The Janes,” to be released Wednesday.“These were very principled people that came out of the Civil Rights movement, the anti-[Vietnam] war movement, the student movement,” Tia Lessin, who directed the film with Emma Pildes, told The Post.“They were mothers, grandmothers, aunts and students,” added Lessin, the Oscar-nominated creative behind 2008’s “Trouble the Water,” about Hurricane Katrina. “But they were all united by their belief that women should be able to make this choice.” The duo conducted 11 on-camera interviews with the surviving members of Jane — including Heather Booth, who founded the underground abortion ring in 1968.
