Birthright International of Danbury
238 White Street, Danbury CT 06810 (203) 744-3737
What they do:
Birthright helps any girl or woman regardless of age, race, creed, marital or economic status, who feels distressed by an unplanned pregnancy. Birthright is there for every woman who calls for help. Whether that call is for nothing more than an anonymous pregnancy test or for friendship and support lasting through the delivery and beyond, Birthright is there. Every woman is special and deserves to be treated as an individual. Birthright cares for every woman and does not pass judgment on the "quality" of life or circumstances of a pregnancy. It does not dwell on the past. Birthright instead asks, "How can we help?" No matter how difficult a situation may seem, Birthright helps each woman plan constructively for her future. Birthright allows each woman to ask questions and to explore her options without pressure and without passing judgment.
Birthright does not use "scare tactics" or pressure, show abortion slides or pictures, picket or harass abortion clinics, evangelize or lobby for legislative changes or engage in the public debate on abortion. Birthright maintains a 24-hour free hotline: 1-800- 550-4900 and hundreds of local crisis telephone and drop-in chapters. Birthright gives its services free of charge. A tax-exempt, charitable organization, Birthright exists because of the financial and moral support of its donors and volunteers. It is independent, interdenominational, and not affiliated with any religious or political group or public agency.

March for Life
What it is:
An event of the Pro-Life Movement held in Washington D.C. on the anniversary of Roe v Wade (January 22, or the nearest weekday) each year on behalf of unborn children and life principles set in the context of our Declaration of Independence – that the right to life is inalienable and endowed by our Creator.
What we do:
We contract a bus every year to take parishioners and local citizens to Washington D.C. to participate in the March for Life. We publicize the availability of the bus in our Parish and neighboring Parishes.
Life Chain
What it is:
Annually, on the first Sunday in October, LIFE CHAIN invites the churches in each city and town across North America to stand on a designated local sidewalk and pray for witness. Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of Pro-Life Americans standing for one hour praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception.
How we help:
We promulgate awareness of the upcoming local Life Chain several weeks before the event and invite all families to join the public witness gathering. Those responding to the invitation to witness meet in Danbury at Main Street and West Street from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
