Changes to abortion question just another of Knudsen's questionable actions

Austin Knudsen continues to abuse his position as Montana’s attorney general to interfere with our constitutional rights and democracy.

The job of the attorney general is special. The attorney general must uphold the rights guaranteed by the Montana Constitution. The decisions made by the attorney general must be based on the facts and the law. There is simply no room for politics.

Article II, Section 9 of the Montana Constitution provides that the right of individual privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and shall not be infringed. Over 20 years ago, the Montana Supreme Court held that a woman’s right to choose what to do with her own body is protected by the right to privacy. Article XIV, Section 9 of the Montana Constitution states that the people may propose constitutional initiatives that shall be submitted to the voters for approval or rejection.
