Chicago's Jane Collective is getting well-deserved attention for their organizing pre-Roe. But in other areas of the country, abortion supporters also offered quiet networks that transported women across state lines to obtain abortion care.
. But in other areas of the country, including Northern Indiana, abortion supporters also offered quiet networks that transported women across state lines to obtain abortion care. One driver for abortion patients noted that then, as now, it was crucial for those networks to be accessible to economically marginalized women, who are more likely to live far from abortion care and less likely to have affordable transportation.
Early activists also emphasized the necessity of better messaging. “Pro-life” is a simple and simplistic slogan that has the virtue of being easy, though empty. What can it mean to be pro-embryo but not pro-woman’s life, pro-health care, or pro-gun reform, as so many are? One of activist we interviewed said, “‘Right to Life’ is a crock of shit with beautiful PR.
Embryos grow not in incubators but in humans who already have value and are woven into networks of familial and community responsibilities. organizers also described the importance of building diverse coalitions if we wish to secure abortion access for all in the long term. This, too, is a local task. Early activists described meetups in the late 1960s and early ’70s fueled by potluck dishes and good music.
