Getting to the truth on CI-128

I am opposed to all elective abortions, but I hope to find common ground with all voters regarding CI-128.

I urge everyone to look beyond the wording of this initiative as it will appear on the ballot and read the language which would permanently amend the Montana State Constitution if voters approve CI-128. That text is on pages 20 and 21 of the Montana Voter Information Pamphlet which we all received in the mail. Pages 22-25 contain arguments for and arguments against the measure.

The initiative language makes it clear that CI-128 would radically expand abortion in Montana, enshrining in the Constitution the right to an elective abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Additionally, its vague language has important legal ramifications for parental notification and who may perform the procedure.
