Alberta March for Life 2026

Theme for 2026: Do No Harm

“Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” Romans 13:10

This teaching has long been understood by Christians as a call to act with charity, justice and respect for the dignity of every human person.

For many Christians and members of the pro-life movement, this principle of love and human dignity shapes their opposition to abortion and euthanasia. They believe that care for others includes protecting and respecting human life at every stage, from conception to natural death. 

From this perspective, participating in practices that intentionally end human life raises serious moral concerns and creates confusion within the healing mission traditionally associated with medicine.

Medical professionals dedicate their lives to caring for patients, guided by scientific knowledge, professional standards and ethical commitments. 

The Hippocratic Oath, in its original and modern forms, emphasizes responsibilities such as acting for the benefit of the sick and avoiding harm. Supporters of the pro-life position agree that medicine is most faithful to its purpose when it prioritizes the protection of the most vulnerable, including unborn children, people with disabilities and those who are terminally ill. 

Pro-life supporters often call on healthcare professionals to reflect on their ethical commitments and the meaning of care, urging a renewed focus on safeguarding life.

This year, please join the Alberta March for Life on Thursday, May 14, at Violet King Henry Plaza near the Alberta Legislature at 12:00 PM.

Come join Albertans from across the province to hear inspiring testimonies by medical professionals, pro-life politicians, abortion survivor Melissa Ohden and many other voices dedicated to protecting the dignity of human life.
