Judge halts new Montana Medicaid abortion rule from going into effect

A Montana judge issued a temporary restraining order against the state from enacting a rule that adds more restrictions to Medicaid patients who seek an abortion in Montana. The lawsuit challenging the new rule says that bill is effectively a ban on abortion, and that many of the facets of the new rule have already been previously decided as unconstitutional. The lawsuit was filed by All Families Healthcare Clinic, Blue Mountain Clinic, and Planned Parenthood of Montana. By Darrell Ehrlick for the Daily Montanan. 05/01/2023.
