“As a gift from God, every human life is sacred from conception to natural death. The life and dignity of every person must be respected and protected at every stage and in every condition. The right to life is the first and most fundamental principle of human rights that leads Catholics to actively work for a world of greater respect for human life and greater commitment to justice and peace.” Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities (USCCB)

A group of people walking along a sidewalk, holding signs with messages like "Choose Life." The setting is a sunny park with cars parked along the street and tall trees lining the pathway. A child is in a stroller among the group.

About the San Diego Walk for Life

The San Diego Walk for Life strives to bring the community together to celebrate the gift of life. We recognize the fundamental worth of every person from conception to natural death, and we stand up for the unborn and their parents.

In several states, the Walk for Life occurs near the January 22 anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v Wade decision, which legalized abortion. Although this decision was overturned in June 2022, abortion remains legal in California. Therefore, we, as Christians, have the duty to continue praying and advocating for the unborn and supporting families and pregnant women in need.
