We stand with our neighbors in North Dakota, with the patients who deserve timely, compassionate care, with the providers facing criminalization for doing their jobs, and with every community fighting for the right to make decisions about their own bodies.

#reprorights #reprohealth #abortion

Montana knows what happens when extremists use courts and legislatures to chip away at constitutional rights. We’ve seen how quickly protections can erode and how misinformation fuels these attacks.

Even members of the Court acknowledged the ban is vague and confusing, leaving physicians unsure when care is legally allowed. When providers must choose between treating a patient and risking prison, healthcare becomes dangerous.

Under this law, providing an abortion is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Patients are exempt from prosecution, but their doctors are not.

Your support helps us advocate for a Montana where everyone can live their identity, achieve sexual health, and reach reproductive goals with confidence.

These realities are not about individual choice. They are about structural barriers created by policy decisions.

This matters because:
• Many Native people receive their health care primarily or exclusively through IHS
• Access to non-IHS care may require traveling long distances, time off work, childcare, and fuel costs
• Delays in accessing abortion often increase medical risk and cost

Hyde prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion care, which means that Indian Health Services (IHS), a federal program created as part of treaty obligations, cannot cover abortion in most circumstances.

We honor that by continuing the work right here in Montana:
• Support trans youth and families
• Defend access to gender-affirming care
• Push back against misinformation
• Speak up when our neighbors are targeted

Anti-trans attacks are meant to divide, distract, and silence. But voters are seeing through it. They care more about the economy, healthcare, and their kids’ actual well-being — not manufactured panic.

They didn’t back down. They led with values: safety, dignity, and trust in families and local communities. When candidates speak with clarity and compassion, not fear, voters respond.

Montanans deserve judges who protect our freedoms, not undermine them.

As a legislator, Mercer voted to ban abortion, criminalize providers, and pushed “personhood” language that would erase reproductive rights from Montana’s constitution. He also voted against protections for LGBTQ2S+ Montanans, siding with extremists over equality and freedom.

While Republicans talk about “leaving it to the states,” they’re cutting off funding for crucial healthcare services and laying the groundwork for new limits on medication abortion.

Americans believe healthcare decisions belong between a pregnant person and their provider. Not a prosecutor.

There's a clear disconnect:
-Most people, across parties and regions, reject using the criminal justice system to police abortion.
-Even those who believe abortion should be illegal oppose jail time for pregnant people & doctors.
-Harsh laws deepen distrust in the legal system & endanger lives.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, more than half of U.S. states have passed laws that criminalize abortion. Some threaten doctors with prison time. Others allow private citizens to sue anyone who helps someone get care. And a few have even proposed classifying abortion as homicide.
