Eleanor Oliver: At 84, I think it's my daughters and my granddaughters who have to fight this. She says there are a lot of people who think like you. You are not alone. Find like-minded women. Get together. Talk about the issues. And eventually groups will form, we'll get right back to 1968," she says.
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.
