MPCA's Board voted in October to oppose LR-131. Physicians and families continue to share their stories about challenging and devastating situations that would be made far worse by LR-131. Criminalizing doctors for providing compassionate care to grieving families is never the right answer for Montana.

LR-131 criminalizes doctors who provide appropriate, compassionate care to families with infants born with non-life sustaining birth defects or born too early to survive.

Today is Indigenous Pink Day! Did you know that Native Montanans have higher rates of breast cancer cases and breast cancer mortality when compared to white Montanans? Join the American Indian Cancer Foundation today in raising breast cancer awareness in Indian Country by wearing pink and using the hashtag .

LR-131 is not right for Montana. Criminalizing doctors treating families in the most difficult of situations is wrong. Providing compassionate care should not be punishable by 20 years in prison. Ever.

Today is National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Metastatic breast cancer affects over 155,000 people across the country.

Breast cancer screening looks for signs of the disease before there are symptoms. Screening may help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat and less likely to spread to other parts of the body.

Be breast aware! Knowing what feels and looks normal for your own breasts may help you notice symptoms, such as lumps, change in size, and pain, that may be of concern.
