"Choice" is a film recounting the story of Dr. Henry Morgentaler, a General Practicioner who challenged the law to ensure a woman's right to choose a safe abortion. In 1968, Dr. Morgentaler, a surviver of the Holocaust, performed his first illegal abortion in 1968. After opening his abortion clinic in Montreal he was arrested in 1973. Despite having been found innocent by a jury of his peers, the province of Quebec appealed and he was sentenced to prison. He eventually won in Quebec when the government legalized abortion. He brought the fight to Ontario where in 1988 the Supreme Court took notice and voted in favour of legalized abortion. Abortions are now performed legally all over Canada using Morgentaler's safe method. <46mn 7s>Language:EnglishNotes:1.
