WATCH: Kansans for Life confronts Kansas Supreme Court Justices over abortion rulings
Kansans for Life, the leading pro-life grassroots organization in the state, recently confronted the Kansas Supreme Court about its radical abortion rulings, taking the Aftermath Traveling Abortion Memorial to Liberal, Kansas, where the justices met for a public hearing on September 22.
A traveling memorial, Aftermath, was created by Kansans for Life in response to the skyrocketing number of abortions in Kansas since a 2019 state Supreme Court ruling.
The memorial displays 19,811 medical-grade fetal models, each representing a child lost to abortion in Kansas in 2024. The display also includes information to give visitors an opportunity to learn and take steps toward action.
On September 22, four members of the Kansans for Life Team publicly and respectfully extended multiple invitations to Kansas Supreme Court justices to see the display, but they declined.
Despite this, approximately 150 people stopped to view the exhibit, and it was seen more than 5,000 times by cars observing the display on the busy road.
Kansas has become a destination state for abortion since 2019, when the Kansas Supreme Court found a so-called “right” to abortion in the state constitution while deciding the Hodes & Nauser v. Schmidt case. Following the 2019 ruling, abortions nearly tripled in Kansas in just five years, increasing from 6,916 abortions in 2019 to 19,811 abortions in 2024.
AFTERMATH, a first-of-its-kind, traveling memorial never before seen in the United States, was created in direct response to the skyrocketing number of abortions in Kansas following the state Supreme Court’s radical 2019 ruling and subsequent rulings eliminating commonsense protections for women.
Spanning the size of a basketball court, Aftermath displays 19,811 medical-grade fetal models — each representing a child lost to abortion in Kansas in 2024. Alongside the display, visitors encounter information that helps explain how Kansas arrived at this point because of radical rulings from the state Supreme Court. Compassionate banners and brochures direct women who have been hurt by abortion to resources. Visitors have an opportunity to both learn and take steps toward action.
Since the launch of Aftermath in September 2025, Kansans for Life has taken the exhibit to 26 communities, schools, and churches statewide.
On September 22, four members of the Kansans for Life Team were in Liberal, Kansas, to bring the Aftermath display to the community with the help of dedicated volunteers, while the Kansas Supreme Court justices held a special session at Liberal High School. KFL worked the entire day to engage with the media, meet the Supreme Court justices, and interact with the community alongside the Aftermath exhibit.
Members of the KFL Team publicly and respectfully confronted the justices, including Chief Justice Eric Rosen, at an event at the local community college in the morning and during and after the court’s public hearing in the evening. KFL personally extended multiple invitations to the justices to see Aftermath. They declined.
The Aftermath display impacted the local community. Approximately 150 people stopped to view the exhibit, including students leaving the high school. There were over 5,000 total impressions of the display, with cars slowing down on the busy road and curious drivers observing Aftermath.
A father and his young daughter left a rose beside the models in remembrance. One woman even arrived intending to protest, but after talking with KFL and walking through the display, she agreed that the staggering loss of life represented there was unacceptable.
“It was overwhelming to see all those little babies and the bigger babies, all representing the abortions performed in a single year in Kansas. Over 19,000. It was heartbreaking. There’s been a 200% increase in abortions in Kansas since their court ruling,” said Dawn Epp, who volunteered with KFL at the event.
The Aftermath display remained until well after dark, with attendees from the court session and curious onlookers dropping by after sunset. Though none of the justices made an appearance at Aftermath, they and the Liberal community were fully aware of the display’s presence and the challenge it delivered them—to acknowledge the devastating loss of life in the state due to the Court’s radical abortion rulings.
Josh McDonald, grassroots director for Kansans for Life, said:
“Aftermath brought the truth of the tragedy of abortion to light in Liberal. The truth challenged the pro-life community to step up and get active, and they answered the call.
The display moves people from apathy to action, causing even pro-abortion citizens to question their positions. Some of these will even admit the tragedy is too heavy, yet the justices are refusing to look and acknowledge the consequences of their radical rulings."
KFL gives special thanks to the volunteers and supporters who made it possible to bring the truth of Aftermath to the Liberal community, memorializing each of the 19,811 lives lost.
