Right to Choose plunges deep into the reality of front-line workers protecting the right to abortion. From Montreal to Gatineau to Fredericton, the documentary follows the work of doctors and nurses in clinics, as well as an expert who observes the rise of the anti-abortion movement by going out into the field. Their stories are accompanied by powerful testimonials from women who have experienced abortion, breaking the silence and isolation.
