Jane's Revenge influenced by Jane Collective
History
On May 6, 2022, a draft opinion for the Supreme Court of the United States case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked to the public. The draft pointed to an imminent overturning of two previous decisions, Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which had inferred constitutional protections for abortion rights. The group formed in response to the leak, posting their first communiqué on May 8. The name "Jane's Revenge" is a reference to the Jane Collective, an underground organization founded by Heather Booth that helped women obtain abortions prior to the Roe v. Wade decision.After the June 24 decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the organization is attributed with having vandalized at least one crisis pregnancy center, in Virginia, and committing arson at a second center in Colorado. The FBI was called in to investigate the instance of arson in Colorado.On June 28, The Intercept reported that Facebook had internally labeled the group as a terrorist organization, making the topic subject to the most stringent content filtering.
