Election Day is here! Please take action to ensure Montana families are not stripped of dignity and comfort by voting NO on LR-131!
The resolution would amend the state Constitution to require life-saving treatment to be provided to all infants born alive — whether or not they are viable.
This seemingly innocuous amendment masks a cruel legislative overreach. The language of the proposed amendment states that all infants born alive are legal persons and, as such, are entitled to all live-saving measures that are necessary and available to keep the child alive. If a medical professional fails to take these steps, they face a stiff penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.
Mandating such treatment would force a non-viable infant to be provided with care to save its life. This strips the family of precious moments they could spend with their child. Vote NO on LR-131 to ensure that dignity and peace are not stripped from families during their most difficult moments.
