MT: Abortion advocates submit ballot measure affirming right to terminate pregnancy in Montana
Voters may have the opportunity to affirm the right to an abortion in the Montana Constitution in 2024.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana submitted a ballot initiative last week to put before the voters the option to add the right for someone to make decisions about their pregnancy, including abortion, as a constitutional right in Montana.
If this ballot initiative makes it before voters in 2024, the Montana Constitution would get a new section explicitly outlining the right to an abortion, as opposed to relying on the court’s interpretation of the state’s right to privacy in the constitution.
“This constitutional amendment prohibits the government from denying or burdening the right to abortion before fetal viability,” the submitted language reads.
