History:
Birthright is an International service and was started by Louise Summerhill in 1968. Louise was a Canadian housewife and addressed herself to the problems that face those in a distressed pregnancy who were increasingly being offered abortion as the only solution. Belief that supportive care and concern were all that many women needed to bring their babies to term, Louise started Birthright, the first crisis pregnancy center in the world.
There are now more than 450 Birthright centers internationally. San Lorenzo Birthright covers the greater Bay area.
