The Montana Supreme Court rejected state Attorney General Austin Knudsen's assessment that a proposed ballot initiative about abortion was legally insufficient.
In a 6-1 decision on Monday, the justices of theruled that Knudsen “erred” in his decision, which claimed the proposed ballot initiative, denoted as CI-14 by the state Secretary of State, violated the state constitution, regarding parts not allowing a unified vote on multiple changes to the state constitution, and would confuse voters.
Any questions that may come up, if the measure is adopted, regarding the new additions to the state constitution would not be unlike questions about other parts of the state’s founding document and amendments, according to the state Supreme Court. The proposed ballot measure “affirms the right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion, in the Montana Constitution” and would ban restricting abortion before “fetal viability,” except in instances to protect the pregnant mother’s “life or health.” Knudsen rejected it in January, but it is now back on track to get to the ballot.
