Gillian Anderson "What Do I Know?!" - The Janes

In this week's episode of “What Do I Know?!” Gillian explores why history matters, especially when it’s brought into the present…

With the threat of Roe being overturned, criminalising abortion will not eliminate women seeking abortions but will drastically reduce the number of women having safe ones.

Join Gillian in exploring the story of the “Janes”, an underground network which helped women safely access abortion between 1968 to 1973, and why sometimes you have to cause ‘good’ trouble to stand up for your beliefs. Listen to the full episode now.
