About us

For over 50 years, Birthright has been helping women with unplanned pregnancies.

Birthright began in Toronto Ontario, Canada in 1968 when Louise  Summerhill, a busy housewife, and mother of seven children, felt something should be done to help women facing unplanned pregnancies.

By offering love, hope, support, and resources, Birthright has grown to become a pregnancy support service with hundreds of centers throughout Canada, the United States, and Africa.

Birthright is committed to providing confidential, non-judgmental support to any woman who is pregnant or thinks she might be pregnant, no matter her age, race, circumstance, religion, marital status, or financial situation. Birthright is a charitable organization that relies on the dedication, time, and talents of volunteers and the generosity of donors to ensure it can persevere in supporting pregnant women.

We help women discover hope for the future through friendship, love, and support. We know the importance of simply being with her, being a compassionate listener, and respecting that it is her life and her plan, Birthright is available to support her for as long as she needs us, from the time of her first call or visit throughout her pregnancy and afterwards.
