Two of the largest pro-life walks on the West Coast mark milestone anniversaries Jan. 20, and follow in the wake of new abortion laws enacted in 2023.
This year marks the 20th Walk for Life West Coast and the 10th OneLife LA celebration. The annual events, which include speakers, music, and family-friendly activities, are held in San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively, attracting tens of thousands of men, women and children joyfully witnessing to the dignity of human life from conception to natural death.
“Twenty years ago, we didn’t know what to expect,” Eva Muntean, co-chair and one of the founders of the Walk for Life West Coast, told OSV News. “We were overwhelmed with joy by the turnout that first year, which was just a few thousand compared to the tens of thousands who walk now.”
