Our Ethos
Birthline recognises the primary importance and value of every human being, from fertilization until natural death, supporting life at every developmental stage, celebrating individualisation and diversity. As such we are considered as “pro-life.” Birthline does not refer for abortion because it is a medical procedure (Birthline does not give medical advice). However Birthline never judges a woman for having an abortion and offers sincere and compassionate post-abortion grief counselling to any woman or couple that might need this support.
