About Birthright
Birthright is a non-profit charitable organization that has been providing love and support for over 45 years to women facing unplanned pregnancies. With emotions overwhelming and circumstances seeming impossible, Birthright wants these women to know that they are not alone. There is hope for them and for their baby. Birthright can help and is only a phone call away. Birthright has chapters across Canada, the United States, and Africa as well as a 24/7 North American toll-free Helpline.
Birthright began in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 1968. Over 45 years later, it remains true to that original vision of personal, one-on-one contact in helping relationships. Birthright takes a non-moralistic, non-judgmental approach toward helping women through their pregnancy dilemmas. The supportive homelike environment created at the beginning, and the Charter followed by all Birthright Chapters, defines Birthright's services. It ensures that pregnant women receive the same considerate treatment at every Birthright chapter. Birthright receives annual support for general operations from Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Toronto.
