A legal template by Montana would treat cross -border abortion seekers as criminal human dealers of their “unborn children”

Montana's unprecedented law would crime pregnant people and their supporters due to legal abortion care across the national borders and exceed the limits of the fetal personality and state control.

On November 5, the Montana voters approved a ballot papers that anchored the right to abortion up to the fetus lifestyle (approx. 24 -weeks -pregnancy) in state constitution. Although the voters have clearly spoken, the pushback is increasing.

State Rep. Lee Deming (R) tries to put a voting initiative for fetal personalities in 2026 in front of the voters who define the legal personality as the beginning of the conception and thus presumably entitle the same protection according to the law. He claimed that the voters were confused when they voted for the constitutional law of abortion, supports his initiative with the explanation that there is no “material difference” between abortion and “us”[ing] A ball to kill all of these people from the age of 70 or older … because they generally let their families and their society flow away and some are impractical. “

In the meantime, Montana's legislators are considering a radical law template for “trade” for “trade” for “trade”.

Idaho and Tennessee have also mixed up the “abortion trade” of a minor by preventing access to legal abortions outside the state. And a handful of communities that are mainly summarized in Texas have made it a civil law crime to use local roads in order to use access to legal cross -border abortion supply.

But Montana's proposed law breaks new soil.

The Commercial Act adds another degree of state surveillance and control and makes it a crime for a pregnant person “to transport an unborn child across national borders” “for the purpose of procuring an abortion”, which is illegal in Montana. Namely a procedure according to the balance sheet. It would also be criminalized that they crime “another person in transporting an unborn child” in the support or support of the abortion date or possibly even by filling the tank with gas or making sandwiches for the street.

In a press release, Martha Fuller, CEO and President of Planned Parenthood Advocates from Montana condemned the measure:

“The legislation is an extreme criminalization of abortion searchers and its family members and others who support them. … this autumn, the Montanen mostly voted to protect our right to personal medical decisions about abortion. If the answer to this vote is the introduction of an incredibly draconian law that wants to criminalize exactly these decisions, it shows how not with Montanians. “

This law is not only outside the Montanen, but also combines some of the most dangerous legal trends in national postroe Reproduction ecosystem.

Let's start with the underlying premise that you can “transport” a fetus. When the anti -Type extremist Mark Lee Dickson, based in Texas,, the driving force behind the urban travel bans, is argued for these efforts: “The unborn child is always taken against her will. Of course, this leads to the assumption that the unborn trade “victim” is a legal person with enforceable rights of consent, the permission of which must somehow be obtained before taking to the street.

As I wrote in an earlier article, the idea that a fetus has a will that has to be honored to honor the proverbial can of worms. Does this mean that a pregnant person somehow has to turn with the fetus and secure its permission before getting involved in behaviors that could possibly be a risk, e.g. B. skiing? Or treat coffee on the weekends of this additional cup of coffee?

Although this is apparently absurd, this is the tense landscape of the fetal personality, which is in the core of the proposed law of Montana in Montana.

A second alarming feature of the Montana Act is that abortion seekers as criminals would punish the fact that they receive legal abortion in another state. This is a significant departure from existing crimes that have currently freed from pregnant people from criminal prosecution who largely frees the view that women are “the innocent victims of a predatory abortion industry that forces them to kill their unborn children”.

The call in Montana's legislation for the treatment of abortion seekers as criminal human dealers signals the growing influence of abolitionists of abortion. As soon as this ideological faction dominated by men “viewed as an extremist edge of the anti-abortion movement”, the “heretical apprenticeship” does not be able to kill their own children with immunity and impunity because they themselves are victims of abortion, and instead calls for them as a murderer. This would mean the death penalty in some states. Although this is certainly not called here, there is still a common ideological belief in the guilt of those who decide to abortion the proposed bill in Montana.

With regard to the fact, the fact that the proposed law by deducting the abortion after the balance of the balance sheet (since there is permissible in Montana are permitted in Montana) that the false claim of trumps implicitly gives credibility that wild mash supports “democrats” abortions after birth “. Maternal life at risk and supply barriers that cause delays in obtaining an abortion. ”

By looking for this extremist measure to seek for abortions late in pregnancy as criminal human dealers for their unborn children, some of the most dangerous ideological convictions are promoted to drive the anti -department as a whole. The legislators of Montana should respect the will of the people who voted to protect abortion as constitutional law instead of issuing a law that increases the fetus to the status of a legal person with enforceable rights of consent and at the same time redefines abortion search, which will receive a cross -border care that the state raised.
