Kansans for Life Back Masterson

Kansans for Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion group, is making a bold move by backing just one GOP primary candidate—Senate President Ty Masterson—while fiercely attacking Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt as a threat to the pro-life cause. With Trump already on Masterson’s side, the endorsement gives him a near-lock on the nomination, even as Democrats treat him as the frontrunner. This is unusual for the group, which typically supports multiple candidates, but they’re determined to prevent Schmidt from winning by default in a crowded field. Schmidt, who opposes abortion on demand but supports existing laws with exceptions, refuses to commit on a key upcoming amendment and says voters—not politicians—should decide. Kansans for Life has launched a full campaign against Schmidt, citing her past votes as pro-abortion industry, while praising Masterson for advancing pro-life bills—even as critics argue his leadership has made Kansas more permissive on abortion. Despite other pro-life candidates in the race, the group insists unity behind Masterson is critical to protecting unborn lives and families.
