BALLOT LANGUAGE FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE NO. 128 (CI-128)

CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE NO. 128

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION

CI-128 would amend the Montana Constitution to expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion. It would prohibit the government from denying or burdening the right to abortion before fetal viability. It would also prohibit the government from denying or burdening access to an abortion when a treating healthcare professional determines it is medically indicated to protect the pregnant patient’s life or health. CI-128 prevents the government from penalizing patients, healthcare providers, or anyone who assists someone in exercising their right to make and carry out voluntary decisions about their pregnancy.
