Voters in the state are being asked to approve a law declaring that an embryo or fetus is a legal person with a right to medical care if born prematurely or survives an attempted abortion.
Lea Bossler speaks at an event at the Capitol in September organized by the opposition group Compassion for Montana Families.toggle captionMONTANA — Abortion is on the ballot in Montana this year. Voters are being asked to approve a law declaring that an embryo or fetus is a legal person with a right to medical care if born prematurely or survives an attempted abortion.
"A lot of people speculate, including myself, that the reason it was put on the ballot, was to gin up the base and get them out to vote on this very divisive issue and one that people are very passionate about," saysMauk says that the proposed law was put on the ballot before the U.S. Supreme Court ended the federal protection for abortions in the Dobbs case in June.
Opponents say it gives the state too much power to decide what's medically reasonable, which could end up harming families suffering pregnancy complications. "Marcus and I were given the choice to take Maesyn outside for her final moments," Lea Bossler says."Being ex-wildland firefighters and Montanans, we had no hesitation in taking that opportunity.""[Maesyn's] death under LR-131 would have been extremely traumatic for everyone, rather than beautiful and peaceful," Bossler says.
