Does the amendment infringe upon the religious freedom of Montanans?
The authors of this amendment believe that America was founded as a republic under God, not a democracy, and that constitutional law is rooted in Biblical law. This amendment is an articulation of the Montana Constitution Party’s religious beliefs. The Montana Constitution has been established for persons of all faiths or no religious faith. There is no scientific or moral consensus, even among people of faith, about when life begins or what constitutes life. This amendment does not respect the religious freedom of women and their families to make decisions based on their personal beliefs and convictions.
