GALLATIN/PARKPROLIFE: Please email your local paper and if possible Helena IR and Billings Gazette with a letter to the editor why to vote NO on CI-128 that will be on the November 2024 ballot. With passage of this initiative, Montana will officially become one of the most pro-abortion states in the union. We cannot let this happen.

Today’s talking points focus on the portion of CI-128 that focus on the reproductive rights of girls and women (at the expense of the life of their unborn baby).
Abortion Never Necessary To Save The Life Of The Mother
Do not be fooled by the language of the pro-abortion CI-128. The prolife movement does not place the rights of the unborn over that of the mother — but gives equal rights to life for all humans, irrespective of age. Everett Koop, prior US Surgeon General, pediatrician for 38 years (witnessing many high-risk births), states he never saw a case where abortion was needed to save the mother’s life. An international symposium on maternal healthcare concluded abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of the mother. The reason such cases do not exist is that if a woman has a medical problem that requires surgery to save the mother’s life, if everything reasonable is done to save both mother and child and the child dies, that is not abortion. It is easy to see the difference between performing a surgery to save the life of the mother and a procedure the intention of which is to destroy the life of the unborn child. The difference is one of motivation, though loss of the child can occur in either case. The more common complications of pregnancy like eclampsia occur after 20 weeks, when the child can survive outside the womb. VOTE NO on highly deceptive Pro-Abortion CI-128.
Medical care for ECTOPIC/TUBAL PREGNANCIES and MISCARRIAGES are not illegal and do not need a constitutional right
Pro-abortion people would like you to believe CI-128 is needed to protect women’s reproductive rights by protecting the “health” of mothers. Using the word “health” of mother is what opened the door to abortion for treatable and passing health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Understand: Medical treatments for ectopic/tubal pregnancies and miscarriages are not illegal and do not need a constitutional right. Ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages were not investigated for criminality prior to Roe v Wade. Arguments for CI-128 are dishonest, not based on facts. VOTE NO on Pro-Abortion CI-128.
The ABORTION INDUSTRY includes LACK of INFORMED CONSENT
Don’t let the pro-abortion language of CI-128 fool you into believing it will promote voluntary full consent. Abortion leaders would like you to believe abortions performed include full-informed consent of the mother. Yet, the abortion industry is known for instances that lack informed consent, especially among the younger mothers. Many girls and women in an unplanned pregnancy are not being given enough information to make an informed choice. In one survey, 67% said they received no counseling beforehand; 84% reported they received inadequate counseling beforehand; 79% were not counseled about alternatives. Another study showed over 50% of pregnant mothers who get abortions claimed they were coerced by parents, grandparents, peers, abortion industry workers, or the father of the child. Lack of information, lack of informed consent, coercion: This is the opposite of serving the rights of mothers. VOTE NO on Pro-Abortion CI-128.
