Next week Montana voters will decide whether to create an unrestricted “right” to abortion in their state constitution.
Focus on the Family is urging all our friends in Montana to protect life this November and vote “NO” Constitutional Initiative (CI) 128.
CI-128 would amend the Montana Constitution to “Prohibit the government from denying or burdening the right to abortion before fetal viability.”
The language allows the government to restrict abortion after viability (the time at which a baby can live outside the womb), but allows for a loophole that would permit abortions through all nine months of pregnancy.
CI-128 is radical and extreme. It would:
Allow abortions in the seventh, eighth and ninth months of pregnancy — far beyond when science says the baby is capable of feeling pain.
Ban parental notification before a minor gets an abortion.
Erase decades of well-vetted safety standards put in place by Montanans to protect girls and women.
Endanger a mother’s health by allowing abortion clinic staffers, not doctors, to advise women regarding abortion.
Focus on the Family strongly opposes this dangerous amendment.
Pro-abortion organizations like the Planned Parenthood and the ACLU are backing this amendment and have already raised over $16.4 million to pass CI-128.
Montana Family Foundation, a Focus on the Family-allied state family policy council, said this initiative is a “radical expansion of abortion in Montana, which will eviscerate parental rights, embolden sexual predators, and destroy the lives of late-term, pain-capable babies.”
Pro-life Montanans must vote to defeat this deceptive and extreme measure.
Exit polling in the Ohio abortion amendment campaign of 2023, demonstrated that 24% of white evangelical or born-again Christians supported the extreme abortion amendment because they were duped by the abortion industry’s fear mongering. It is imperative that bible-believing, pro-life Christians vote to protect preborn babies and mothers from abortion in Montana.
Vote “NO” on CI-128 to protect preborn babies and parental rights.
You can learn more about the “Vote No on CI-128” campaign at Montana Family Foundation and review a memo analyzing the legal and drafting defects with CI-128.
Montana’s early, in-person voting began October 7 and ballots were mailed to absentee voters October 11. Election Day is November 5.
Please vote to protect preborn life by voting “NO” on Amendment CI-128!
And remember: Vote for candidates who support life this November!
