Montanans have voted to protect reproductive rights in the state's constitution, ensuring that abortion remains legal and access is guaranteed before fetal viability.
The measure guarantees that abortion access post-viability is protected when necessary to protect the pregnant person's life or health, responding to concerns about potential changes to existing precedents.
Opponents of the measure claim it would allow abortion until birth, a characterization challenged by reproductive rights advocates and various health care experts.
This ballot initiative comes as part of a larger national trend, with several states, including Missouri and Colorado, enhancing reproductive rights protections amidst ongoing legal challenges.
