Gianforte voiced his support for HB 136 during his State of the State Address in January. We must protect the lives of our most vulnerable: unborn children. I firmly believe all life is precious and must be protected, he said. I urge the legislature to send me the Montana Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which protects unborn babies by prohibiting abortion when they can feel pain. I also urge the legislature to send me the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which requires doctors to perform life-saving care on a baby who’s born as a result of a botched abortion.

Sen. Johnson introduces abortion bill
By Patrick Keck - pkeck@aimmediamidwest.com
COLUMBUS Two Ohio Senators introduced legislation last week at the statehouse that would order doctors to operate on fetuses in failed abortion attempts.
At the center of the legislation is Scioto County’s own Sen. Terry Johnson, R-McDermott and Sen. Steve Huffman, R-Tipp City, who both work as licensed physicians.
Senate Bill 157 would define an instance where the doctor “purposely fail to take the measures by the exercise of medical judgment,” as punishable by the first-degree felony of abortion manslaughter.
Abilities to file suit for the women in the performed abortion would also be granted, receiving damage costs and having court and attorney fees covered in a winning case.

Senate Bill 157 is sponsored by Republican Sens. Terry Johnson and Steve Huffman, both practicing physicians.
Health care providers who don’t take measures to save a baby’s life and the baby dies would face a new crime in Ohio: abortion manslaughter, a first-degree felony. If the baby survives, notwithstanding the health care provider’s failure to take measures to save its life, would face a charge of failure to render medical care to an an infant born alive, also a first-degree felony.
