Dear Friends,
There’s one thing that’s crystal clear on this year’s Montana ballot: If Constitutional Initiative 128 (CI-128) passes, it will endanger thousands of vulnerable mothers and unborn babies. It is a badly written, misleading amendment, and that’s why we urge you to vote “NO” on it – to protect women and children in Montana!
If you haven’t heard the details, CI-128’s purpose is simple: No Parents, No Doctors, No Limits.
No Parents: CI-128 eliminates existing parental notification laws for abortion, making it the only medical decision for which parents will have no say for their children.
No Doctors: CI-128 doesn’t require an actual medical doctor to determine if an abortion is necessary to protect the mother’s health or if the fetus is viable, but instead allows “any healthcare professional” to make these decisions. Even radical employees of abortion clinics who are not doctors will encourage women toward slate-term abortions.
No Limits: CI-128 is a California-esque radical change to the Montana Constitution, erasing decades of well-vetted laws put in place by Montanans to protect women and babies from undue harm. CI-128 will allow for extreme abortions at any stage of pregnancy, including late-term and partial birth.
Finally, CI-128 will turn Montana into a safe harbor for sex traffickers and predators, who will be protected when they force victims to obtain an abortion. It will also increase taxpayer-funded abortions in Montana.
Your voice is desperately needed to ensure CI-128 never becomes part of Montana’s Constitution. Along with our friends at Montana Family Foundation (MFF), who are working tirelessly to defeat this amendment, we urge you to vote NO on CI-128.
Montana’s vulnerable women and children deserve the protections Montana laws give—and they’re depending on your NO vote on CI-128 on Election Day!
Sincerely,
Joseph Kohm III
Director, Public Policy
