A battle over abortion access is intensifying in Montana, with challenges to state laws pending in court, a ballot initiative for extra protections, and upcoming state Supreme Court seats that could impact abortion rights. The state remains abortion-friendly due to a 25-year-old court ruling. Anti-abortion advocates are facing hurdles in overturning abortion protections, with recent court decisions blocking restrictive laws. The issue is gaining momentum after the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade. Abortion rights groups are pushing to amend the constitution, while candidates in Supreme Court races are signaling their stance on protecting abortion rights.
