description Verzio FF submission Every year, throughout the world, fifty million women have abortions and about thirty five thousand of these abortions are being performed in the Netherlands. Abortion is being legalized in the Netherlands thirty years ago and abortions have since then been carried out safely and in safe surroundings. The right to have an abortion in the Netherlands now seems so fundamental that it is difficult to imagine that it is still not a fundamental right in many countries in the world. This film shows the course of an average day at the oldest abortion clinic in the Netherlands. A seventeen year old girl tells her story and women that used to demonstrate at the clinic against abortion now come to the clinic with their own pregnant daughters. Has this acquired freedom changed personal and social attitudes? Is a woman’s decision to have an abortion any less painful now than it used to be?
