"Montana Judge Strikes Down Three Abortion Laws as Unconstitutional"
A Montana judge has declared three laws restricting abortion rights, including a ban on abortions after 20 weeks, as unconstitutional, citing severe burdens on access without clear justification. The laws, passed in 2021, have been blocked from enforcement, and the state plans to appeal the ruling. Planned Parenthood hailed the decision as a critical victory, while additional anti-abortion laws in Montana face court challenges.
