Contraceptive
Funding Still in the Budget!
Despite two
amendments and a floor debate, the Senate did not
vote
to remove
the
state's contraceptive funding from the state
budget.
Today, Senator
Dan McGee introduced two amendments to eliminate state
support
for family
planning from
the budget (HB 2). The Senate debated the topic
vigorously,
with several
outstanding champions, but ultimately did not vote on
either amendment.
As of this
moment, this essential family planning funding is still
part of the state budget!
We
will keep you posted on any new developments
for
family planning, healthcare, and the Montana
state budget.
Thank you for
contacting your legislators and
building the Senate's opposition to McGee's
amendment(s)!!
