MT governor signs bill protecting life

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Denise Burke regarding Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte’s signing Tuesday of HB 721, a bill that protects life and women’s health by prohibiting gruesome dismemberment abortions:

“Every human life is valuable, and every baby deserves to be protected. By enacting this critical legislation, Montana has affirmed the basic human rights of vulnerable children, whether born or unborn. This bill prohibits the particularly gruesome and barbaric procedure of dismemberment abortion, which involves the tearing apart of a living baby who has a heartbeat, has all major organs, and can feel pain. The extreme lengths to which Planned Parenthood is willing to go to protect such a horrific procedure makes it clear that the abortion industry only cares about its bottom line, not protecting women. Women deserve real health care, and unborn babies deserve a chance at life. We’re grateful to Gov. Gianforte, Speaker Matt Reiger, and the Montana Legislature for standing for life by enacting this legislation.”
