I have been informed that during tomorrow’s floor session there will be a motion to either censure or expel me.

I've also been told I'll get a chance to speak. I will do as I have always done—rise on behalf of my constituents, in defense of my community, & for democracy itself.

I am thankful to mifepristone for the family and life I have today. Literally.

@robinmonturner @hollykmichels Once, in 2015, I heard some MPAN Bowie and it has haunted me since.

In no state did a majority of respondents express support for the overturn of Roe & support for legal abortion isn’t limited to Democratic-majority states.

Majorities of Americans in 43 states and the District of Columbia say that abortion should be legal in most or all cases.

@bessette4mt See also me and teenaged son, weeping. At one point he choked out: “it’s the same wine!” So very good.

[Montana Free Press @mtfreepress]

A bill to statutorily define Montana’s constitutional right to privacy as not including the right to abortion passed a key vote in the Senate chamber Wednesday, leaving one more hurdle before it can continue its trajectory to a House committee. #mtleg https://t.co/oDFnzzh8Aw

[Montana Standard @MontanaStandard]

Abortion up until the point of viability of a fetus is legal in Montana, as clarified by the Armstrong decision nearly a quarter century ago from the state Supreme Court. https://t.co/yTsyCLnrCo

[Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana @PPAdvocatesMT]

Sen. Usher tried to limit anyone from saying the word #abortion on SB154 stating the bill is about #privacy - even though ‘abortion’ is clearly stated in the bill title. #MtLeg

When pregnant people experiencing economic distress are unable to access abortion, they, and their children, are likely to remain in economic distress.

[Montana Free Press @mtfreepress]

If adopted, the new regulation would require pre-authorization to seek Medicaid coverage for abortion, requiring providers to submit a long list of information about their client’s medical history. #mtnews https://t.co/31jWtWRyQX

@hollykmichels Same. Which means I don’t have fabric scissors anymore. I must live with consequences of my actions.

[marthastahl @marthastahl]

@mtpublicradio 72, which is higher than normal, because I have the woodstove going and it still needs to come on to make the far corners of the house warm enough!

@moodycreek Fending off these attacks is so important! For us here and Montana and our friends in WY who have to travel!

I don’t care about football, but welcome ESPN to Montana. I fondly remember my first job: working in the comms department at ESPN HQ in my hometown as a high school student.

[No on LR-131 @NoLR131]

We did it and it was all due to the families who shared their deeply personal stories, the healthcare providers who worked tirelessly to educate voters, and all our volunteers who helped us spread awareness. #LR131, a cruel and unnecessary proposed government mandate, is defeated

[marthastahl @marthastahl]

@mandamels Or like in Montana: it says abortion but wouldn’t change anything related to abortion but it says abortion so abortion is on the ballot. I mean I guess it is, literally.

[marthastahl @marthastahl]

Well here’s some self awareness: as I sit in my anxiety about an expensive home repair which seems to be snowballing, it dawned on me that if I am not worried, I feel irresponsible and as if this irresponsibility will be punished with more to worry about. #howdidigetlikethis

@DrLaurenWilson Hoping my kids’ pediatrician is toting a stein, if she is in attendance. She’s a hero to me!

[No on LR-131 @NoLR131]

"Every pregnancy is different. But LR-131 forces one-size-fits-all treatment regardless of the situation or family's wishes. How these tragic situations are handled should be decided by families and doctors, not politicians." —Brad Holbrook, MD, Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist

[Lauren Wilson MD @DrLaurenWilson]

Are you a healthcare worker in Montana?

Four Montana physicians (including @mt_mfm) wrote a letter outlining the harms of LR 131 for families in healthcare workers. Sign on by October 11 and please forward to friends. @NoLR131Montana #LR131 #mtpol

[No on LR-131 @NoLR131]

Proponents of LR-131 are counting on misleading ballot language to persuade voters to support this dangerous policy, but every donation you make helps us to set the record straight. Support like yours is crucial to reaching as many Montanans as possible!
