Abortion in Montana

In 1997, the Montana Legislature passed a law that said only physicians could perform abortions. After a lawsuit, they changed the law to allow nurse practitioners to perform abortions.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mtpr.org/post/nurses-fight-expand-abortion-access-montana|title=Nurses Fight To Expand Abortion Access In Montana|last=Ouellet|first=Nicky|website=www.mtpr.org|date=2018-10-03|access-date=2019-05-28|archive-date=May 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190528140451/https://www.mtpr.org/post/nurses-fight-expand-abortion-access-montana|url-status=live}}

As of May 14, 2019, the Montana Legislature prohibited abortions after the fetus was viable, generally some point between week 24 and 28. This period uses a standard defined by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1973 with the Roe v.

In 1997, All Families Healthcare took the state to court to challenge its law stating that only physicians could perform abortions. In April 2018, two nurses succeeded in getting an injunction as part of a lawsuit against the state to try to allow advanced practice nurses to perform abortions. Montana's Attorney General Tim Fox appealed the injunction.

A 2024 Montana Supreme Court decision established that minors do not need parental consent to have an abortion, overruling a state law.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-14 |title=Montana Supreme Court rules minors don't need parental permission for abortion |url=https://apnews.com/article/montana-abortion-parental-consent-980e974b46721f6fcdefd9ac85a2a996 |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=AP News |language=en |archive-date=August 30, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240830234514/https://apnews.com/article/montana-abortion-parental-consent-980e974b46721f6fcdefd9ac85a2a996 |url-status=live }}
