History
In 1969, local pro-life groups began forming in Kansas.
When pro-life citizens talked to their representatives in Topeka in the early ’80s, they were told, “Abortion isn’t an issue here…go home.”
In 1981, Kansas was named by the National Abortion Rights Action League as one of the 13 most pro-abortion states in the U.S.
The Rally for Life began in the mid ’80s and is now held every year on January 22. (Nearly 2,000 people attend in spite of it being on a weekday and usually in miserable weather.)
In 1983, Kansans for Life was formed with the goal of chipping away at the “right” to abortion by passing laws which would reduce the number of abortions, while working toward legal protection for all innocent human life.
Since our inception we’ve worked diligently to organize a powerful force for life in our state. We have successfully passed 28 laws.
We’re a grassroots organization with a network of community leaders across the state of Kansas.
We’re an authoritative voice on the media landscape, important referral source and regular sponsor of educational forums and events on the sanctity of human life. We offer, free to the public, educational resources, lending libraries and speakers.
Our legislative division offsets pro-abortion lobbyists and presents a professional, pro-life voice in the Kansas Legislature. Our Political Action Committee endorses pro-life candidates during elections.
