Services
The services offered by Jane took place in two apartment homes in Chicago. The first apartment was used as a reception and waiting area. Here women were checked in, received abortion counseling, and waited to be transported for their procedures. The second apartment used by Jane was where the abortions were actually performed. Women were taken by car in groups from the first apartment to the second where the actual abortions would be performed. The reception area was often filled with children and other friends and family members of the women receiving the abortion, and Jane provided an informative yet welcoming environment for all. The women working in the reception room provided snacks for their guests as well as childcare for those women who did not have anyone to watch their children while they were having the procedure.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”

“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
