Alberta Pro-Life is a province wide group which works to educate and motivate Albertans on life issues, most notably abortion and euthanasia.

Alberta Pro-Life began in 1986 and was formed to fulfill a need for a provincial umbrella group for community based pro-life groups around the province. Alberta Pro-Life has an elected board of directors which meet several times a year. APL is a non-profit society and because our mandate is to do both educational and political advocacy work we are not a registered charity.

Since 1986, we have defended the sanctity of life from conception to natural death, speaking on behalf of our society's most vulnerable members -prenatal children, the chronically ill, the elderly and the disabled.

As a member of Alberta Pro-Life, you will receive a copy of The Rose, our quarterly newsletter, which keeps you abreast of life issues within Canada and the province. It includes a calendar of pro-life events throughtout our province.

Alberta Pro-Life is a non-profit organization. However, we do not have a charitable tax number and donations are not tax deductible.

The board of Alberta Pro-Life includes members from across the province and our executive is elected annually at our annual general meeting.

At present, euthanasia and doctor abetted suicide are illegal. However we notice more and more cases in which the medical community, the courts and some politicians ignore the law and actively lobby to legalize these killings.

If we want to change this, we must continue to encourage and channel the attitude amongst Albertans that this disposing of humans is unacceptable. That means educating Albertans about abortion and euthanasia and counteracting the predominant message from the mass media that some lives are disposable. It is difficult for individuals to do this alone. In a pro-life group, people share talents, resources and prayes and work effectively to produce change.
