News & Analysis

On October 6, 2024 (as well as the two days prior), pro-lifers once again witnessed to the sanctity of life and the evil of abortion as part of the annual Life Chain.

Life Chain has expanded rapidly over the past few years. In 2020, the number of Life Chain locations dipped below 250, but now, in 2024, the number has exceeded 350.  

Attendance was similar to last year—over 15,000 estimated in total—as despite the expansion, rain seemed to depress turnout in some locations.

Please pray for “Teresa,” a pregnant mom who is considering abortion because she fears being kicked out of her parents’ house. She was referred to crisis pregnancy services by the local organizer of the Life Chain in Niagara Falls.

The 2025 Life Chain will be on October 5.

Below are snapshots from over 100 communities that took part in the 35^th Life Chain in Canada.
