Episode notes

The James Foundation has a record of 11,000 abortions. They were raided and busted by the police after someone complained about an abortion they had performed. The organisation is no longer in business but continues to help women through their counselling service.

Before Roe v. Wade, Eleanor Oliver was a Jane: a member of a group in Chicago that helped women get safe but illegal abortions. Sean Rameswaram sat down with her on the day Roe was overturned.

This episode was edited and fact-checked by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and produced by Victoria Chamberlin and host Sean Rameswaram.
