Born Ready is a forum to empower, equip, mobilize, resource Catholics to fulfill their baptismal call to serve women, children, and families, especially women in difficult and unexpected pregnancies.

The Bishops of California remain adamantly opposed to any expansion of abortion access or funding in California. They are actively and fervently committed to uniting, increasing, and making readily available all life-affirming resources in our state for women facing unexpected pregnancies and finding it difficult to flourish in California’s current economic and social climate.

All Catholics and people of faith and goodwill are invited to join the California bishops in opposing abortion and building a culture that supports and defends every human life. In their name, the California Catholic Conference empowers and equips local and statewide action.
