00:00What happened?
00:05I was lying on my bed and I saw her go in my drawer and take a razor.
00:08I needed a razor.
00:09At 5 in the morning?
00:10You did this on purpose.
00:11You really think I would do this on purpose?
00:13So get an abortion.
00:15The mob charges like $3,000.
00:17My cousin had one and she almost died.
00:19I told you to come alone into the back.
00:21If we had any other friends that needed this, can we give you a call?
00:25I don't want to see any of you ever again.
00:27What if we had women call my dorm room?
00:30It would be anonymous.
00:32I could explain about the doctor and what to do and stuff.
00:35It'd only be a couple of calls a year, right?
00:40This is Jane.
00:42We are going to create a service so that any woman who needs an abortion can get one.
00:46Won't we get in trouble for this?
00:48Can you promise me you'll quit when we get married?
00:51We want to compile a list of doctors.
00:54There you go.
00:55Literally everyone I know thinks I'm pregnant right now.
00:57I'm the one who interviews the girls.
00:59They don't interview me.
01:00Wait.
01:01Which one of you is pregnant?
01:02It's not for us.
01:03Girls are awful organized.
01:05Are you hookers?
01:06If we're doing something illegal, we should think like criminals.
01:09That's how they do it.
01:11We'll have two locations.
01:13A place for the abortions and a front.
01:17Maybe it's time to get out of the shadows.
01:19Announce that we're here.
01:20If you need volunteers, you can call me.
01:23We're up to 30 women a week now.
01:29Can I help you?
01:30You have to say you're not involved.
01:33I have to stick by everyone else.
01:35You lied to me!
01:36We're all criminals in this room.
01:38And that includes all of you.
01:40I feel like this whole time we've been pretending that we can just ignore the system and we'll never get punished.
01:45But it happened.
01:47We're caught.
01:48You don't know how tough the world can be.
01:53But you're about to find out.
01:57I was just waiting to regret everything.
02:02But I don't.
02:03Why don't I give you our number and when you call back, you can ask for Jane.
02:07I'm Jane.
