Montana voters will decide in November whether to protect abortion rights, confirming the right to a pre-viability abortion is part of the state's constitutional privacy.
Despite attempts to keep it off the ballot, the state supreme court ruled that the proposed amendment could enshrine the right to an abortion, altering the legal landscape.
Controversy arose when Republican lawmakers passed a law asserting that the right to privacy does not include abortion, leading to significant legal challenges and public debate.
The state secretary of state's office reversed a longstanding precedent by ruling inactive voters' signatures would not count, complicating the signature collection process for supporters.
