Brownback’s abortion stance questioned after 1994 primary
In the 1994 GOP primary Brownback defeated antiabortion candidate Bob Bennie amid assertions by rivals that his pro life position was unclear. Brownback disputes the characterization, saying he spoke on specific abortion bills rather than declaring a stance. Critics say he later aligned with the conservative wing by 1996 when running for Senate and facing Sheila Frahm.
