Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for being interested enough to come here to view our blog. Here is a brief description of the program. We hope you will be involved!

Last month, the Knights of Columbus – a Catholic fraternal organization of 1.7 million men – announced an amazing initiative to support the pro-life movement. Under their program, the national organization will provide a 100% match on funds raised by the local councils to purchase ultrasound machines for qualified pro-life pregnancy help centers. A local council is working with three other parish councils to raise money and support the purchase of no less than four ultrasound machines for Birth Choice, the pro-life clinic with multiple locations in our area of southern California.

Why This is Important
Nationwide over 75% of abortion minded women choose life for their babies after seeing their baby move in the womb and hearing the sound of its heartbeat. Since the day Birth Choice became a fully licensed medical clinic, they have had over 69,000 hits on their website, seen 29,538 clients in their clinics, performed over 2,800 ultrasounds and saved 1,576 babies that would have been aborted.

Participating in the Knights of Columbus Ultrasound Initiative will provide Birth Choice the needed tools to open the hearts of the thousands of young women they see yearly.

There Are Are Several Ways You Can Support This Wonderful Cause:

The Birth Choice Clinics model is revolutionary in its comprehensive scope. As a result, the successful transition of abortion-minded mothers to mothers who have either kept or placed their baby in adoption, is among the highest in the nation.
