  • A group of people march in a protest holding signs in support of abortion access and women's rights. Visible signs read “My Body My Rights,” “Women's Rights Are Human Rights,” “Our Bodies Our Choice,” and “Time Is Up.” A banner across the image reads, “What’s the history of abortion access in Montana?” with the Montana Public Radio and The Big Why logos.

    What's the history of abortion access in Montana?
    Aaron Bolton, Nick Mott
    In Montana, abortion access has been at times illegal, legal, and stuck in limbo. Providers have weathered bombings and arson, advocates and opponents have battled it out in court, and citizens have passed a constitutional amendment affirming a woman's right to choose. One listener wants to know more about the history of reproductive rights in Montana. MTPR's Aaron Bolton reports on the underground networks, political violence and landmark court cases that got us to where we are today.
  • A Planned Parenthood of Montana clinic in Helena is among those that recently changed its policies to restrict its distribution of abortion pills only to patients from states without abortion bans in effect.
