We understand the challenges related to unplanned pregnancies. We know at times pregnancy can be an overwhelming situation. However, we also know that there is hope for the mother and her child. Birthright is here to be the friend that a pregnant woman needs as she navigates her pregnancy.
If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, remember... You are worthy of love and belonging. You are a person of worth and dignity. You do not need to feel alone. You and your baby deserve to feel safe and protected. Birthright believes that “It is the right of every pregnant woman to give birth, and the right of every child to be born.” Birthright is just a call away, and we want to help.
Birthright has factual information available on pregnancy, prenatal development, abortion methods, placing a child through adoption, and parenting resources. Birthright is available to any woman regardless of age, race, religion, marital status, or financial situation. We can help!
Every person's situation is unique. We listen to every concern and question a woman may have. Birthright offers hope, encouragement, support and a variety of services, so that each woman can make a realistic plan for the future.
