Decline to sign CI-128

by Deborah Tilden, Stevensville

Here are the facts you ARE NOT being told by the petition gatherers about what CI-128 would do to change Montana’s constitution: 

Based on the facts you will read below, PLEASE DECLINE TO SIGN CI-128 – WE THE PEOPLE are so much better than this. 

– Abortion is already legal, and fully taxpayer funded, in Montana up to 26 weeks for any reason (that’s 6 1/2 months). That’s more extreme than nearly every nation in the world, except North Korea and China.   

– Montana already provides the right to an abortion to save the life of the mother. However, any good maternal/fetal specialist would tell you that they are treating both the mother and the child-in-the-womb as they pursue all attempts to save both lives. It is actually quite rare to have to end the life of the child in the womb to save the life of the mother. There ARE other options. Modern medicine has come a long way!

– CI-128 would allow abortions to be performed on minors without parental notification or parental consent for any reason, again fully taxpayer funded, or by the parent’s insurance. 

– Would allow abortions to be performed by non-doctors up to the moment of birth. NO guardrails at all for abortion, including partial birth abortion.  How are those good healthcare standards for women?

– Dangerous chemical abortion pills would be made more readily available. The abortion industry would be put in charge of women’s healthcare. Including the dangerous dispensation of the harmful chemical abortion pills that a woman takes to end the life of the child in the womb, and then, induces labor to “expel” the body of her dead child, and the placenta, into the toilet, our waterways, and waste management systems.  And put her at 25% greater risk of excessive bleeding and hemorrhaging.  These pills are currently dispensed without a medical exam or gestational age check of the baby in the womb.  

– Women would NOT receive full disclosure and informed consent of abortion’s risks, complications and causal links on their lifelong holistic health and wholeness. Women are told abortion is “safe.”  

– Anyone, even a parent, husband, boyfriend, etc. could be arrested and charged with a felony for trying to sway a woman from making a harmful, uninformed abortion decision.   

– Women would be limited in their ability to sue for damages against the abortion provider, when and if they find themselves being diagnosed with breast cancer in later years, infertility issues for various reasons, an increase in miscarriages and pre-term birth, and or mental health and/or suicidal issues. All known risks and causal links according to the worldwide scientific data.  

– Pregnancy health centers that do not promote or refer for abortions,  would be vulnerable to targeting by the abortion industry and government agencies.  

– Bills to protect innocent human life in the womb would be struck down as “unconstitutional” – ie., eliminating safeguards for future generations.  The obsessive world population control agenda would be unleashed in the state of Montana.  

– Increase out-of-state “abortion minded” visitors, at taxpayer expense, to use Montana as their abortion destination. 

– Increase sex trafficking exploitation – would make Montana a “safe-haven” for violent offenders and sex traffickers who abuse women.  

– Would allow Planned Parenthood to continue to hide cases of statutory rape. Keep in mind, they are trying to lower the age of consent to access more customers. If you don’t believe me, go find the CSE (Comprehensive Sex Education) curriculums in many schools around the country that push promiscuous sex curricula on children as young as kindergarten. Which was produced during Obama’s time in office, created mostly by Planned Parenthood board members at the time. Sexualizing young children is NEVER good policy.  

Bottom line folks, THIS ballot initiative is far too extreme for Montana, and quite frankly anywhere.  

The fact is “abortion/pregnancy termination,” whether legal or not, has always been with us, and sadly, always will be. People make choices that are not good for them and others every day of the week, 24/7.

However, standards of good, holistic, non-invasive and natural healthcare for women needs a lot of work.   

Forcing all taxpayers to pay for abortion as a form of birth control isn’t good for ANYONE!  

Changing a state constitution for these purposes is dark, barbaric, dangerous and devalues innocent voiceless human beings at all levels – the ripple effect is real.   

Also, keep in mind, based on the “reproductive transgender rights” being pushed upon all taxpayers around the country, THAT WILL BE the next thing all Montanans will be forced to pay for.  

The passage of CI-128 would REQUIRE YOU to open your checkbook, sign on the bottom signature line, and give the abortion industry, Planned Parenthood, the abortion on demand agenda a blank check and force you to fund anything and everything they come up with that even remotely has anything to do with women’s health and reproductive “rights.”   

Mark my words. 

I’m all for freedom, but again abortion should not be a form of birth control. Good policy is built on principles that are good, right and true. So, how about we promote, the BEST birth control is self control. 

Let’s promote a world full of love, hope, grace and celebrating all human life, including the unborn little human beings needing to be protected, and by DECLINING TO SIGN CI-128 – the “Reproductive Rights” ballot initiative. There’s a WHOLE LOT they are NOT telling you to try to get you to sign this ballot initiative.
