History

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. 

 

Our Birthright chapter has been helping women in the Treasure Valley since 1977.  Our office was previously located in Boise just off State Street and in December of 2020, we moved our office to Meridian, across from Meridian High School.
