The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives that requests an interim study to investigate complications related to abortion. It highlights the need for a comprehensive review of both physical and mental health complications that may arise from abortion procedures, as indicated by the Montana Vital Statistics Report 2020, which recorded 1,498 abortions in the state. The resolution calls for the Legislative Council to designate an appropriate committee to conduct the study, which will examine the effects of abortion on a woman's future ability to conceive, the short-term and long-term physical and mental health effects, and the implications of both medical and medication-induced abortions.

The resolution mandates that the study involve relevant stakeholders and that any findings or conclusions be presented to a designated committee for review. It establishes a deadline for the completion of the study and its presentation to the 69th Legislature by September 15, 2023. This initiative aims to provide a thorough understanding of the implications of abortion, ensuring that the legislative body is informed of the potential health risks associated with the procedure.
