Today, thousands joined the Kansas March and Rally for Life, organized annually by Kansans for Life (KFL), to call for renewed respect, love and protection for vulnerable human lives. The event highlighted the pro-life legislative successes of the past two years and acknowledged the work ahead for the movement, while mourning the lives lost to abortion in 2023.

“For two years in a row, the pro-life movement stood strong against the most pro-abortion governor in Kansas history and have overridden her vetoes a historic SEVEN times. Despite these heartbreaking number of abortions occurring in Kansas, women are being helped, and babies are being saved everyday” said Mackenzie Ayers, KFL Deputy Director of Communications and event emcee.

Jeanne Gawdun, KFL Director of Government Relations, provided an overview of KFL’s 2025 legislative priorities, which include expanding funding and access to Kansas’ Pregnancy Compassion Awareness program and empowering women to seek justice for abortion injuries, among other items.

Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson and Kansas House Speaker Dan Hawkins also addressed the crowd, while pro-life legislators stood in support of the shared life-saving agenda.

KFL memorialized the 19,467 lives lost to abortion in 2023 through a powerful display of 24 tables filled with fetal models to visually represent the tragic numbers.

“How many is too many?” said Ayers. “People are waking up to the fact that our beloved state has become the land of nearly 20,000 abortions. Women and babies deserve better.”

KFL thanks those who attended the rally and will update and engage supporters throughout the session.
