MT Voters Enshrine Abortion Rights In Constitution

The Hill reports:

Montana voters have passed a ballot measure to amend the state’s constitution to include the right to an abortion, cementing access to abortion services in the state.

Constitutional Initiative No. 128 in Montana amends the state constitution to “expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion.”

The ballot measure also bars the government from penalizing patients, health care providers or other individuals who help someone in “exercising their right to make and carry out voluntary decisions about their pregnancy.”
