2024 Montana Initiative 128

Initiative 128

November 5, 2024 (2024-11-05)

A constitutional initiative that would amend the Montana Constitution to expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion. It would prohibit the government from denying or burdening the right to abortion before fetal viability. It would also prohibit the government from denying or burdening access to an abortion when a treating healthcare professional determines it is medically indicated to protect the pregnant patient’s life or health. The initiative would prevent the government from penalizing patients, healthcare providers, or anyone who assists someone in exercising their right to make and carry out voluntary decisions about their pregnancy.

Initiative 128 is a ballot initiative that will appear on the ballot on November 5, 2024. If passed, it would establish in the Constitution of Montana a right to abortion up to fetal viability.
