Jesus taught people to "Suffer the little children."Looks like the Montana State Supreme Court did not get the right-wing memo!
The Montana Supreme Court unanimously extended abortion protections in the state on Friday – amid an ongoing effort by the GOP governor and legislators to erode women’s medical rights.
In a 7-0 decision, the Treasure State’s highest court sided with an advanced practice nurse practitioner and a clinician who challenged a 2005 law that restricted who could provide abortion services.
“Under Montana’s Constitution, the right of individual privacy—that is, the right of personal autonomy or the right to be let alone—is fundamental,” the court noted, citing precedent. “It is, perhaps, one of the most important rights guaranteed to the citizens of this State, and its separate textual protection in our Constitution reflects Montanans’ historical abhorrence and distrust of excessive governmental interference in their personal lives.”
Earlier, a district court invalidated that same law, “Control of Practice of Abortion,” which restricts providers of abortion care to physicians and physician assistants, saying that the legislature violated a woman’s “fundamental right of privacy to seek abortion care from a qualified health care provider of her choosing” when enacting it.
Earlier this month, the Montana legislature passed – and Gov. Greg Gianforte signed – a series of laws to roll back women’s abortion rights – including an effort to further strengthen the law just found unconstitutional by limiting abortions to physicians alone. That law would likely be considered a dead letter.
Republicans also passed a bill that aims to undo the precedent, the 1999 Armstrong case, on which the state’s highest court relied in deciding the latest case, stylized as Weems v. Montana.
That law will also likely be overturned if and when the court takes up the matter.
No, He does not. They will get another chance. He does weep for women who are forced into such choices because of an uncaring population for women.Jesus taught people to "Suffer the little children."
The anti-Christs are those who plan mass disobedience of our Lord Jesus who loved the little ones. He also said, "If you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me."
Jesus weeps when children in the womb are given no mercy in this vain world.

On the issue of abortion, the GOP is the dog who caught the car.Looks like the Montana State Supreme Court did not get the right-wing memo!

No, it doesn't.Are you so certain about Scripture? I only ask because the Bible doesn’t seem to agree with you. Genesis says that life begins with the first breath.
God took some mud and breathed life into it. Before that moment, Adam was not a fetus in the womb. There was mud, then there was the first man.Genesis says that life begins with the first breath.
God took some mud and breathed life into it. Before that moment, Adam was not a fetus in the womb. There was mud, then there was the first man.
That verse has been seriously twisted to mean something entirely different.
If you follow the logic of your argument, that would mean it is okay to abort a baby up to the moment of birth.
You are clearly mistaken.
Having nothing whatsoever to do with the thread topic.Jesus taught people to "Suffer the little children."

The right to be left alone. Hell yes.Looks like the Montana State Supreme Court did not get the right-wing memo!

Agreed.This is the state protecting personal liberty.
Preborn.. heh... that's a new one.Too bad preborn humans don’t have a right to be left alone.
I am pro life....having said that I fail to see how any abortion issues can be pressed through the court systems. It's a waste of time. It's almost like the thought police. However I will fight being made to pay for it.Looks like the Montana State Supreme Court did not get the right-wing memo!

Personal liberty is important.This misses the point.
The Montana supreme court is exhibiting actual conservatism not seen in the Unites States for more than 50 years: limited government in favor of individual liberty – even if one is offended by or opposes how a citizen exercises his individual liberty, such as having an abortion.
Conservativism today is authoritarian and oppressive: more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty; using the power of the state to compel conformity and punish dissent – such as laws compelling women to give birth against their will.
Conservatives need to understand that ‘limited government/small government’ is far much more than just reckless, irresponsible tax cuts and deregulation.
Does too. You silly!Having nothing whatsoever to do with the thread topic.
The topic is limiting the authority of the state; that individuals know best how to conduct their private lives, not the state.
Indeed, the right to be free from government interference allows individuals to believe as they see fit, including believing that an embryo/fetus is a ‘child.’
Subjective, personal religious beliefs are protected when the authority of the state is limited and restricted – including the subjective, personal believe that an embryo/fetus is a ‘child.’Does too. You silly!
You are short on history. President Washington is the only President who was unanimously voted into office. Each and every one of his written statements referenced Almighty God. And he was the best loved American person who ever lived. People who are acquainted with his portfolio love him to this day for ushering in freedom, love for doing right, and giving youth the perfect model for his creator, the dear Lord and Father of mankind. If you didn't know that you are bereft of how dearly the man loved his God as well as his fellow men who held him in loving respect. And it doesn't bother me one iota.Subjective, personal religious beliefs are protected when the authority of the state is limited and restricted – including the subjective, personal believe that an embryo/fetus is a ‘child.’
Individual liberty is protected from government excess and overreach when subjective, personal religious beliefs are not codified in secular law.
That private citizens make decisions concerning their private lives contrary to the subjective, personal religious beliefs of others doesn’t justify using the authority of the state to compel conformity with those subjective, personal religious beliefs.
Uh, no..Each and every one of his written statements referenced Almighty God.
Doesn't justify being forced to pay for someone else's beliefs either.Subjective, personal religious beliefs are protected when the authority of the state is limited and restricted – including the subjective, personal believe that an embryo/fetus is a ‘child.’

It's the MAGAt alt right that has little tolerance for personal liberty.Agreed.
But seeing this lauded from a bunch of liberals who, generally speaking, have little tolerance for personal liberty, is a bit stomach-turning.
