Montana Supreme Court Blocks Anti-Abortion Law

In a win for Montanans, the state’s Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision on Friday April 26, blocking a law designed to restrict abortion access in the state. The law at issue prevents advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) from providing abortion care on threat of criminal prosecution.
