This bill aims to prohibit abortions of unborn viable children, allowing the procedure only when necessary to preserve the life of the mother. It seeks to clarify the definition of viability, ensuring that the legal framework surrounding this term is well-defined and understood.

Additionally, the bill amends specific sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 50-20-104 and 50-20-109, to align with the new provisions regarding abortion and viability. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
