HB 721 prohibits the use of "dilation and evacuation" abortions, a typical form of abortion after 12 weeks. The President of Planned Parenthood of Montana said, "The court has recognized the grave harm these anti-abortion laws will have on people seeking basic health care. Politics has no place in the exam room."
