  50-20-302. Legislative purpose and findings. (1) The legislature finds that:   (a) it is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman who is considering an abortion that the woman receive complete and accurate information on alternatives;   (b) the knowledgeable exercise of a woman's decision to have an abortion depends on the extent to which the woman receives sufficient information to make an informed choice between the alternatives of giving birth and having an abortion;   (c) in most instances, the only contact with a physician that a woman who has an abortion has occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little opportunity to receive counseling concerning the decision;   (d) the decision to abort is an important and often stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with full knowledge of its nature and consequences;   (e) the medical, emotional, and psychological consequences of an abortion are serious and can be lasting;   (f) some abortion facilities or providers offer only limited or impersonal counseling opportunities; and   (g) some abortion facilities or providers hire untrained and unprofessional counselors whose primary goal is to sell abortion services.   (2) Based on the findings in subsection (1), it is the purpose of this part to:   (a) ensure that every woman who is considering an abortion receive complete information on alternatives and that every woman submitting to an abortion do so only after giving informed consent to the abortion procedure;   (b) protect unborn children from a woman's uninformed decision to have an abortion; and   (c) reduce the risk that a woman may elect an abortion, only to discover later, with devastating psychological consequences, that the decision was not fully informed.   History: En. Sec. 2, Ch. 566, L. 1995.

2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 50. Health and Safety|Chapter 20. Abortion|Part 5. Parental Consent for Abortion Act|50-20-502. Legislative purpose and findings

  50-20-502. Legislative purpose and findings. (1) The legislature finds that:   (a) immature minors often lack the ability to make fully informed choices that take into account both immediate and long-range consequences;   (b) the medical, emotional, and psychological consequences of abortion are sometimes serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is immature;   (c) the capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning the wisdom of an abortion are not necessarily related;   (d) parents ordinarily possess information essential to a physician in the exercise of the physician's best medical judgment concerning the minor;   (e) parents who are aware that their minor daughter has had an abortion may better ensure that the daughter receives adequate medical care after the abortion; and   (f) parental consultation is usually desirable and in the best interests of the minor.   (2) The purpose of this part is to further the important and compelling state interests of:   (a) protecting minors against their own immaturity;   (b) fostering family unity and preserving the family as a viable social unit;   (c) protecting the constitutional rights of parents to rear children who are members of their household; and   (d) reducing teenage pregnancy and unnecessary abortion.
