This will severely hurt Montana ranchers, farmers, and workers by increasing personal expenditures to comply with the EPA mandate. Requiring Montana families to purchase electric c...

My main concern is regarding CI 128. This is worded in such a way that it sounds so concerning about women and their health and reproductive rights. It is attempting to change the Montana Constitution to forever state that Abortion is OK with absolutely NO limits. Also, there cannot be any charges brought against anyone for any reason for doing the abortion-no matter what the outcome may be. It also allows minors to get abortions without their parents even knowing anything about it. We absolutely do NOT want ANY of that in our Montana...
