Montana voters have enshrined the right to abortion in their State Constitution, responding to rising public support for abortion following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Abortion rights activists emphasized the need for an explicit constitutional amendment to safeguard against potential future reversals of abortion rights by elected members of the State Supreme Court.
The amendment allows for a woman’s decision regarding her pregnancy, explicitly establishing a right to abortion before fetal viability while allowing some restrictions afterward.
This measure reflects a historical engagement in Montana, with supporters submitting a record 117,000 signatures to ensure the abortion rights amendment appeared on the ballot.
