Jane Collective[edit]
- ... that an underground organization known as the Jane Collective provided 11,000 abortions in Chicago before Roe v. Wade? Source: "In the seven years Jane was active, the group performed approximately 11,000 first- and second-trimester abortions. No deaths were ever reported of women who had abortions through Jane." (Gilles et al. 2018)
- ALT1:... that when arrested for performing illegal abortions, members of the Jane Collective protected their clients' identities by swallowing their names and contact information? Source: "In the police van, one removed from her purse a stack of 3-by-5 cards with contact information for women who’d called for help. They ripped off the corners with the patients’ names and addresses, and swallowed them." (Manning 2017)

Looks pretty much good to go. The article is definitely long enough, neutral, and well-cited. I personally like alt1 better, but both are interesting. Horsegeek(talk) 20:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC)Horsegeek
If this is a good article, where is the good article review and the green icon? The lead seems overlong and wordy to me. Yoninah (talk) 21:08, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yoninah I don't know why it doesn't have the green icon yet, that is added by Legobot. Please refer to the list of World History good articles under "North America". As for the review, it is on the talk page. In the Good Article template at the very top, there is a blue link to the review at the bottom of the box. Or you could go here. I don't think the lead is overly long--I think it summarizes the rest of the page. Edited to add that I have gone ahead and transcluded the review directly onto the talk page. Again, something that should have been done automatically, and I'm not sure why it didn't happen. Enwebb (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
