KATHLEEN EATON BRAVO
Keynote Speaker
Founder/CEO | The Obria Group Inc. & Obria Medical Clinics
Kathleen Eaton Bravo has become one of the nation’s leading pro-life pioneers— courageously serving for nearly four decades in Oklahoma and California.
In 1980, Kathleen experienced the shame surrounding an experience with abortion after receiving counsel from Planned Parenthood—which did not include any information about choosing life for her unborn child. As a result, in 1981 she began volunteering at a pregnancy center in Oklahoma before moving back to California to start Birth Choice in 1986—converting and growing them to six fully licensed medical clinics in 2006. “I wanted to create a comprehensive medical clinic model that could compete nose-to-nose with the large abortion providers for the lives of unborn babies and the souls of the mothers and fathers. In other words, get the patients out of abortion clinics and into our life-affirming clinics,” she says.
In 2012, she guided her Birth Choice clinics into becoming Obria Medical Clinics, and eventually founded The Obria Group in 2017 to serve the Obria network of clinics.
Kathleen is the recipient of the Cardinal John J. O’Connor National ProLife Award, along with former President George W. Bush, and most recently the Susan B. Anthony List’s Distinguished Leader Award. She speaks across the country on her mission with Obria.
