The Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, was made official on June 24. By the Fourth of July, as Manasseh drove to rural Mississippi to visit family over the holiday, she was thinking of the women in that state, where a law came into effect banning nearly all abortions just three days after the Supreme Court ruling. She thought of the pussy hats that were ubiquitous after Donald Trump was elected president, which became a symbol of allyship for women.

“If you saw a woman wearing one of those, you absolutely knew her politics,” said Manasseh. “And that’s really what we need to do with it, because there’s so many girls that don’t know what to do. They don’t know where to go.”

Manasseh reached out to Heather Booth, the founder of the original Jane Collective. Booth, who at 76 is still active in progressive politics as a member of consulting group Democracy Partners, saw the Dobbs decision as undermining the will of the American people, the majority of whom support legal abortions, and an assault on the health and agency of millions of Americans.

But Booth, who is Jewish, believed it was also a violation of the separation of church and state.

“Though it may have reflected the religious beliefs of some of the justices,” she said, adding that, according to Jewish law, “if a woman’s life is endangered, an abortion is required.”

The night the decision came down, Booth had tickets to see a revival of the play “To Kill A Mockingbird.” The title refers to the sin of killing an innocent bird that harms nobody. “When that line was said in the play,” Booth said, “I burst into tears,” Booth said. “Because what I realized is that there is harm being done to people who are innocent or not doing harm to others.”

While the revived movement, which goes by the name We Are Jane, does not actively provide abortions like the original Janes did, they are working to raise money for the Chicago Abortion Fund, which provides financial, logistical and emotional support to women seeking abortions in the Midwest.

“Our thing is making sure that women have the information that they need, that parents have the information that they need, that they can give their daughters and sons who they sent off to colleges and universities in the states where abortion is banned,” said Manasseh.

2/ put the new map on hold, there would likely be an additional Democratic electee to the House. This is how having a Court that refuses to enforce the Voting Rights Act in one state impacts the balance of political power for the entire nation.
