Our History

Free Pregnancy Help & Services
for Avon, Cleveland, Lakewood, North Olmsted, Parma, OH & Beyond


Birthright of Cleveland is a chapter of Birthright International, founded by Louise Summerhill of Toronto, Ontario in 1968. We are an emergency pregnancy support organization available to help girls and women, no matter their age, marital status, or annual income. We are a non-profit, interdenominational organization that is able to keep our doors open through donations and with the help of volunteers.


All of our services are free, personal and confidential. We offer a non-judgmental environment where women of all ages can feel comfortable and get the emotional support they need during an unplanned pregnancy. We encourage women throughout Cleveland, OH; Parma, OH; Lakewood, OH and the nearby areas to seek our help for pregnancy help, free pregnancy testing, pregnancy counseling and so much more. 

Birthright International’s Philosophy for Abortion Alternatives

The essence of Birthright is love. Birthright is unique and committed to offering free, non-judgmental help to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Birthright offers love, hope and support to each woman, to help her make a realistic plan for her future and the future of her unborn child.
