Abortion was once a criminal act in every state. The authorities punished women for not
managing their sexuality and fertility in ways the government, law enforcement, and medical and religious institutions approved.

Call Jane centres itself in the true story of the “Janes,”an underground collective of
women, who in Chicago during the 1960s, came together to secretly provide nearly 12,000 women and girls with safe and secure abortions.

The film is seen through the eyes of Joy (Elizabeth Banks), a suburban wife, and mother
to a whip-smart teenage daughter. Joy's happy life, filled with caring for her family and sharing confidences with her best friend, Lana (Kate Mara), is derailed when her much wanted pregnancy becomes life threatening.
