Protect Women's Health: STOP CI-100
CI-100 would dramatically change Montana's constitution and open the door for politicians and the courts to interfere in our confidential medical decisions. CI-100 jeopardizes the health of all the important women in our lives: mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.
There are many reasons to oppose CI-100:
- CI-100 could prohibit the use of certain methods of birth control, such as pills, IUDs, and emergency contraception
- The sponsor of this amendment, Rick Jore, has said this amendment should be used to investigate women for miscarrying. (Great Falls Tribune, Feb. 13, 2007)
- CI-100 would undermine medical decision-making for pregnant women and health care providers, especially in medically difficult circumstances, such as high-risk pregnancies.
- CI-100 could lead to a ban on stem-cell research and in-vitro fertilization.
CI-100 is much more than an attempt to ban abortion. Find out how to stop this inititive and government intrusion into our personal and private decisions.

Birth Control Prices are Skyrocketing! A new law from Congress has inadvertently caused birth-control prices to soar on college campuses and at some family-planning clinics nationwide. Contact your members of Congress today to fix this problem.
NARAL Pro-Choice Montana's Executive Director Allyson Hagen was quoted in the New York Times on Thanksgiving in a front page story related to the rising cost of birth control on college campuses.

Not doing so is in violation of Montana's unisex insurance law and Human Rights Act and constitutes sex discrimiation.
