Montana has a disturbing history of prosecuting medical providers for providing abortion care when abortions are not fully legal. On this episode we briefly explore three of those cases in Montana. The criminal prosecutions of Dr. Elijah Hoyt, Rose Husted, and Dr. J.L. Yuhas are just a few examples of the heavy-handed government overreach into families' private lives.

Listen to the latest episode to hear about how localities can use noise ordinances to stop aggressive anti-choice protesters who use loud, disruptive protests near health clinics that offer abortion services. Richmond, Virginia, is one example talked about as a town taking positive action to stop these protesters who seem to want to intimidate those who work at, utilize, or support reproductive choice.

On this episode, we talk about how localities can pass policies that would ban bounty-style hunting of those helping others access abortions like we see with the Texas Legal "Heartbeat" bill that awards $10,000 for successful lawsuits. This law is disgusting and a threat to freedom and our American legal system.
The law empowers rapists but we can work with local officials to try to stop this type of law in our communities.

On this episode, we talk about how localities can pass policies that would bar local officials and employees from cooperating with out-of-state investigations and prosecutions related to abortion care and reproductive health.
Don't want your tax dollars paying the salary for local officials to participate in abortion-related witch hunts for people from out-of-state? Let's make a rule about that!
