Omstreden Vrijheid plot

'Controversial Freedom' shows daily practice in the oldest abortion clinic in the Netherlands, Bloemenhove. Anti-abortion demonstrations still take place regularly. But it also happens that women who used to demonstrate in front of the clinic against abortion, now come to the clinic with their pregnant daughter. What are the people struggling with from the very beginning? And have their views changed over time? The film also tells the candid story of a girl who undergoes an abortion at 17. Told from the girl's and her mother's point of view, the story takes another surprising twist when she unexpectedly faces a second choice. Has the acquired freedom changed personal and social views? Is the choice of abortion less drastic now than it used to be? Has it given women more freedom to organize their own lives?
