Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed three bills on Monday restricting abortion access in the state, celebrating it as a success after several attempts to pass similar measures in previous years were vetoed by former Democratic governors.
The bills ban abortion after 20 weeks of gestation, require health care providers to give pregnant women the opportunity to view an ultrasound before performing an abortion and place several restrictions on abortion drugs, like requiring that they be administered in-person rather than through telemedicine.

Oklahoma passes law that exonerates drivers who injure or kill protesters Alex Henderson The Proud Boys and Black Lives Matter clashed in this Florida town and only BLM faced charges: report
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R) signed a bill into law that would ultimately protect drivers who injure or kill protesters while attempting to flee the scene of demonstrations. The law also imposes more rigid penalties for protesters obstructing public roadways.
It also notes that drivers cannot be held criminally or civilly liable for killing or injuring a protestor if they are fleeing from a riot, and there is reasonable belief that they are in danger.
