OTTAWA—Thousands of people gathered on Parliament Hill for the 28th annual March for Life rally on May 8, calling for an end to the practices of abortion, euthanasia, and in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Demonstrators, motivated by this year’s theme of “protection at conception,” gathered on Parliament Hill on May 8 for speeches and prayers, before beginning their annual March for Life through downtown Ottawa.
