Proposed constitutional amendment DEFEATED IN MONTANA
An amendment put forth in the Montana House of Representatives by Rep. Rick Jore, an avid anti-choice legislator, declaring that "life begins at conception" did not receive enough signatures to be placed on the November ballot. The ripple affect for Montana women had this amendment passed would have been far reaching and severe. Blue Mountain Clinic, Montana NARAL and Planned Parenthood, along with 22 other organizations, assisted in the to fight to keep this amendment from making the ballot and to preserve a women's right to privacy in Montana.

Choice in Montana
In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Roe vs. Wade that most laws making abortion illegal violated the fourteenth amendment and a woman's right to privacy. At Blue Mountain Clinic we support a woman' s right to make decisions about her body, her health care and her life.
Choices in health care and decision making about treatment options through education are the values that evolved from the original mission of Blue Mountain Clinic. Today the integration of choice in health care is embodied through our family practice, sexual health care, mental health counseling, acupuncture and Chinese medicine services.
When you support Blue Mountain Clinic with your time, your money or by choosing us as your health care provider, you are helping us defend choice and real options for care.
