Voters Approve Abortion Rights Measure in Montana
News summary

Montana voters have approved Constitutional Initiative 128, which enshrines reproductive rights in the state constitution, reflecting a broad consensus across political lines. The initiative protects access to abortion until fetal viability, typically assessed around 21 weeks, and safeguards the right to privacy in personal healthcare decisions. Martha Fuller, CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana, emphasized the significance of this victory for individual choice. The measure gained support despite a backdrop of Republican victories in statewide elections, highlighting a complex political landscape regarding abortion rights. While CI-128 succeeded, two other initiatives aimed at changing voting procedures in Montana remain undecided, with one trailing and one facing significant opposition. Overall, the outcome marks a pivotal moment for reproductive rights in Montana following the Supreme Court's reversal of federal protections.
