For All Women
Founded in 1971, Birthright Counseling, St. Louis is a non-profit organization providing free, confidential and professional counseling as well as practical assistance to women facing an untimely pregnancy.
Birthright offers positive alternatives to abortion. We believe it is the right of every pregnant woman to give birth and the right of every child to be born. We know that every woman has amazing strengths. We are here to help women find the resources they need to think clearly and feel reassured about their pregnancy.
We do not judge our clients or their situation. We do not use religious beliefs to sway a woman’s decision. We do not make women’s decisions for them. We do not show clients graphic pictures or try to scare them. We are not a medical clinic. We are not politically involved. Our sole focus is to support women in choosing life. Every woman is welcome at Birthright Counseling, St. Louis.
If you would like to serve the community and women facing an unexpected pregnancy, we have a place for you.
Birthright Counseling, St. Louis has 3 office locations. Offices are in Brentwood, Central West End, and Hazelwood.
Birthright Counseling, St. Louis operates solely on private donations from individuals, businesses and foundations and accepts no government funding.
We do participate in the MO Pregnancy Resource Tax Credit Program. All donations of $100.00 or more are eligible to receive a 70% Missouri Pregnancy Resource Center Tax Credit. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the income tax that you owe. This is different than a tax deduction. The state of Missouri has set no limits to the amount of credits available.
Giving
Donations may be mailed to the Brentwood office or delivered in person to our Brentwood location during regular business hours, Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 4pm.
