Alaska pro-life advocates plan to hold the second annual Anchorage March for Life on Saturday, Feb. 22, to advance pro-life efforts across the city and throughout the state.
While the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Alaska remains one of the most pro-abortion states in the union, with state-funded abortion and virtually no limits on when an abortionist can end the life of an unborn child.
The upcoming march will begin at 11:30 a.m. on the corner of Lake Otis and 40th Avenue – just outside the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Anchorage. From there, participants will walk peacefully 4 miles to the Anchorage Cemetery’s Memorial for Unborn Children, located just inside the pedestrian gate at the corner of Cordova Street and 8th Avenue. They expect to arrive at the cemetery by 1:45 p.m. Those who do not want to walk are invited to meet the marchers at the cemetery location.
Once assembled at the cemetery, in front of the Memorial for Unborn Children, attendees will remember the nearly 65 million innocent lives lost to abortion since 1973, when the Supreme Court allowed abortion through the Roe v. Wade decision.
“Let’s bring the whole body of Christ together to raise awareness of the sanctity of each human life and the vulnerability of women (and men) being offered abortion,” a notice for the event states. “Let us pray and work together for an end to the killing of the most innocent and vulnerable of all human beings.”
The event will include special speakers, including Alaska State Sen. Shelley Hughes, Tara Thomas with Project Rachel, Dominican Father James Moore of Holy Family Old Cathedral, and Alaska Family Council President Jim Minnery.
Last year’s inaugural march included about 75 participants, with another 75 gathered in the cemetery for the rally. Organizers are hoping to double those numbers this year.

What do these looser have to protest? Republicans did whine and cry after biden was voted in. What makes things any different now with Trump? GROW UP I’m hoping but your proving me wrong that you graduated second grade. All this whinning and protesting proves me wrong. In second grade whinning, crying, and bullying was exceptable. Oh I forgot name calling! Grow up learn to deal with problems. This is not how. This is why I’m an Indenendent voter. I can think for myself! I vote for the person who I think can do the best job and thinks like I do. In this election it was Trump. Trump is doing the job YOUR person should have been doing after he took the oath of office but refused to do his job. Harris eouldnt even go to the border yet alone do anything about it. Biden stopped what Trump seen coming and tried to stop. Biden reversed Trumps order to build the wall and protect America and our people. Now he’s taking our and sending them all back. They can go through the check points and come back legally. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROTEST ABOUT!
