Planned Parenthood sues Montana over new abortion laws
Fox News
Planned Parenthood of Montana filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to block four new laws restricting access to abortion in the state.
The lawsuit filed in Yellowstone District Court claims the laws violate Montana’s constitution, which protects access to abortion before the fetus is viable, generally at 24 weeks gestation. It says the laws will reduce the number of locations where abortion services are offered and will threaten abortion providers with civil and criminal penalties. The laws were passed earlier this year by the Republican-dominated Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Greg Gianforte, who last November became Montana’s first Republican governor in 16 years. His Democratic predecessors blocked previous attempts to limit abortion access. Montana joins several other GOP-led states in passing additional restrictions on abortion access this year.
