Kansans for Life
This fall, Kansans for Life launched AFTERMATH, a first-of-its-kind traveling memorial that is now making its way through communities across Kansas.
At each stop, visitors walk through a powerful display the size of a basketball court - 19,467 fetal models, each representing a child lost to abortion in Kansas in 2023. Visitors have described the memorial as sobering, emotional and unforgettable.
AFTERMATH was created in response to the surge of abortions in Kansas since the 2019 state Supreme Court ruling that declared abortion a constitutional right. That decision stripped away long-standing protections for women and their preborn children. The result has been devastating: thousands more abortions each year, families forever changed, and a human cost too often hidden from view. This memorial brings that reality into the light.
City after city, local churches and volunteers have stepped up to host, set up, greet visitors, and repack the display - making it possible for Kansans of every age and background to encounter the truth in a way statistics alone cannot express.
Beyond the display itself, the memorial gives visitors the chance to learn how Kansas arrived at this moment, reflect as they walk through, and respond. There will also be resources available for those who may have been personally impacted by abortion, as well as free pregnancy help across the state for families who need support.
And the journey is not finished. AFTERMATH will continue traveling in the weeks ahead, giving more Kansans the chance to walk through the memorial, reflect, and respond.
This Friday, October 3, AFTERMATH will be in Salina from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm at Jerry Ivey Memorial Park. All are welcome to experience this powerful memorial.
