Montanans for Choice - Take Action

Did you know Montanans elect our Supreme Court Justices through nonpartisan elections? That means we choose judges based on their experience and knowledge of the law, not political party. It's a system worth protecting. And right now, extremists are trying to dismantle it.

Join Montanans for Choice Take Action at MAP Brewing in Bozeman this Monday, June 29, as we wrap up our summer series. Our team will be there talk about attacks on our courts, and what you can do.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. June 24th marks that anniversary and the fight is far from over. Montana has constitutional protections for abortion care, but a fetal viability gestational limit still forces some Montanans to leave the state to access the care they need.

And across the country, millions more face outright bans or severe restrictions that block access to lifesaving care. Join us at MAP Brewing in Bozeman this Monday to learn more and take home a free copy of our report, Impact of Abortion Bans.

Did you know over 33% of abortion care in Montana is provided via telehealth? Medication abortion pills are mailed to individuals in communities across our state. And that access is under threat.

Doula coverage in Montana Medicaid is back on track, but it's still not safe. After advocates, lawmakers, and community members pushed back, the MT Dept. of Public Health & Human Services reversed course and is now moving forward with implementing doula reimbursement through Medicaid.

But the fight isn't over. All "optional" Medicaid services, including doula care, are still under review as the state looks for cuts to close a $177M+ budget shortfall. Federal rollbacks are coming too, with nearly $1 trillion in federal Medicaid cuts expected over the next decade.

April is Medicaid Awareness Month. What's happening in Montana (and across the country) right now will have impacts that extend far beyond the month.

Meanwhile, DPHHS is also considering blocking a 3% provider rate increase that the legislature already approved. Fewer dollars for providers means fewer options for patients. Medicaid Awareness Month is a good time to pay attention. But these changes won't stop in April.

April is Medicaid Awareness Month. What's happening in Montana (and across the country) right now will have impacts that extend far beyond the month.

Congress passed H.R. 1, a sweeping federal budget bill that makes significant cuts to Medicaid nationwide. Montana DPHHS has decided to fast-track those changes starting July 1, despite Montanans showing up and asking them to slow down.

In 1972, 100 Montanans gathered to rewrite the state's constitution from scratch. They were teachers, lawyers, farmers, and everyday citizens. They debated, disagreed, and ultimately signed a document on March 22, 1972 that still governs Montana today.

The Montana Constitution explicitly guaranteed the right to privacy. For decades, that privacy right has been the backbone of reproductive freedom in Montana. Courts have repeatedly held that the state cannot interfere in private medical decisions, including abortion, because of this protection.

The 2025 Legislature made it harder to put issues on your ballot. Republican lawmakers passed new rules that specifically target paid signature gatherers - the people who help campaigns reach the signature thresholds required to put an issue before voters.

Now, paid canvassers must verbally identify their name, home state, and paid status before collecting your signature. Miss that script? Every signature they gathered can be thrown out.

The SAVE Act is being framed as “election security.” But let’s be clear: this bill would create new barriers to voting for millions of eligible Americans. The proposal would require documentary proof of citizenship, like a passport or birth certificate, just to register to vote.

Here’s what that means: • Millions of Americans don’t have these documents readily available • Over half of Americans don’t have a passport • Women who have changed their names could face additional hurdles • Young voters, low-income voters, and elderly voters would be disproportionately impacted

Montana’s Constitution is the backbone of our freedom and we’ve been clear about this in our work: Our Constitution. Our Choice.

-Montanans have twice rejected constitutional conventions. -We already have a constitutional amendment process, change doesn’t require risking our entire framework of rights.

A new push from the Mountain States Policy Center is encouraging discussion about a possible Montana Constitutional Convention in 2030, a move that could put core rights up for renegotiation. dailymontanan.com/2026/02/10/p...
