Montana Governor Greg Gianforte highlighted several pro-life bills and signed five of them during a ceremony at the state capitol on Wednesday.
Commenting on the bill at the ceremony, Gianforte declared,"We must protect the lives of the innocent – little babies who are born alive following a botched abortion. Today we are giving a voiceless to the voiceless and help to the helpless. We're establishing in Montana law that a baby born alive following an attempted abortion is a patient, a human being who deserves life-saving care and the right to life.
The governor signed two other pro-life bills on Wednesday – House Bill 786 and House Bill 575. The former requires there to be reporting on all women in the state harmed by abortion drugs, such mifepristone. The governor claimed this bill will"hold those distributing these drugs accountable and shed light on the consequences of this practice."of 24 weeks, unless the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy.
While the Hyde Amendment restricts the use of federal dollars for abortion except to save the life of the mother or in cases of incest or rape, it does not prohibit states from using its own funds to cover abortions.
