The Montana Supreme Court has ruled the state cannot prevent advanced practice registered nurses from performing abortions.
The Montana Constitution's right to privacy upholds the ability to access pre-viability abortions.
If mostly party-line votes continue, more legislation that opponents say would limit access to abortion care looks poised to be heading to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte.
Republican bills aimed at limiting the abortion landscape in Montana are advancing, while Democratic priorities to protect existing access find little traction.
The bills would have codified the state's existing abortion access landscape and established religious exemptions to any bans on abortion procedures.
