Montana secured a win for the pro-life movement this week. The state’s Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed into law a bill that bans abortion after 20 weeks gestation, with the only exception being for abortions to protect the health of the mother.
It’s a good bill that represents the values of most people in the United States. While 60% of people think first trimester abortions should be legal, support for abortion in the country drops 28% for the second trimester and 13% for the third trimester, according to Gallup. Meanwhile, 20 weeks is about the midway point of the second trimester. There are pregnancies that last 21 weeks in which the baby is born and survives outside of the womb, making it even harder for the pro-choice side to justify ending those lives.
