Reddit reviews The Story of Jane: The Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service

In terms of Roe, remember that around 12-15 states will most likely continue to have legal abortion, and that women will need help getting to those states. Please follow https://twitter.com/NARAL to keep updated. If you are in a red state, and you want to have a line to resources, or if you are in a solid blue state and think you could help with room and board or transportation, you can send me your email, I will keep it secret, never use it unless needed, and will never ever consider doxing you, even in a court of law. I'll go down with a real tight lip, I don't crack. We are building our underground railroad, and it's go time.

Women died when abortion was illegal. We can expect to see women dying from unsafe abortions again when Roe v Wade is overturned. The book The Story of Jane: the Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service describes exactly what life was like and the lengths women went to to get abortions. Some doctors got so sick of seeing women die in emergency rooms from botched abortions, they risked their medical licenses to perform illegal but safe abortions. Other doctors would refuse to provide life-saving cancer treatments for pregnant cancer patients for fear it would harm the fetus and they would be criminally prosecuted. Of course, if the woman died from cancer before giving birth, no problem. But pregnant cancer patients couldn't get an abortion either, because it was illegal. The anti abortion people who think making abortion illegal will stop them from happening don't know history. The misogynists are going to love this upcoming chapter of American history.
