Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday signed three bills to limit access to abortion in the state. The bills Gianforte signed ban abortions after 20 weeks gestational age, require a woman be informed of the option to view an ultrasound before an abortion and require informed consent before a drug-induced abortion. Gianforte is the stateâs first Republican governor in 16 years and campaigned on an agenda that included limiting access to abortions in the state. Legislation similar to the bills Gianforte signed into law Monday have advanced in past sessions but were vetoed by past Democratic governors. "There were many who served in this building before us who champion the unborn, people who worked hard to advance the cause of life," Gianforte said during a bill-signing ceremony outside the Capitol on Monday. "Unfortunately, their efforts were vetoed. But not today."
