Conservatives take to Twitter to condemn the election. Montana residentsAfter they voted “No,” on a Republican-backed vote to guarantee medical care for babies born alive at any stage of pregnancy, even after botched abortions.
Montana voters were allowed to affirm or deny the signing of Legislative Referendum 131 into law on election day. The Associated Press called it the race with nearly all votes in by Thursday afternoon.
With 95% voting in, 52.4% Montanans voted “No” for the referendum. This is compared to 47.6% who voted “Yes.”

If residents had voted “Yes,” the referendum would have enacted a law guaranteeing any infant born alive at any stage of pregnancy protections as a “legal person” and would impose criminal penalties on any health care worker that doesn’t provide adequate medical care to these babies.
The measure comes out of House Bill 167 sponsored by Republican state representative Matt Regier. Kaiser Health News reported Regier’s intent to pass the bill and referendum “to prevent infants who survived abortions being denied medical treatment and left to die.”
Pro-life Twitter users were outraged that Montana voted to deny the referendum, accusing the state’s residents of voting “to let babies die.”
That’s how filmmaker and conservative influencer Robby Starbuck described the “No” vote. He tweeted: “Montana voted for babies dying. Let this sink in. All this would have done is force doctors to give care to a living human baby, including if they’re born alive after an abortion. It was a horrible, dark day.

Marina Medvin, conservative commentator and attorney for the defense, tweeted that “Police are required by law to provide medical care to homicidal lunacs who fire at them.” The society demands that serial killers who have been convicted be provided food and medical care while in prison. Montana says that milk and medical care should not be provided to innocent babies. This doesn’t compute.”
Pro-life user “Eudaimonia” tweeted, “Colorado moved to legalize shrooms and Montana says that babies born prematurely aren’t legal persons but tell me more about the slippery slope ‘fallacy.’”

The March for LifeTwitter account lamented vote. It tweeted, “Abortion harmed our nation so deeply, that we refuse to provide proper medical care for newborn babies.”
James Woods, actor and conservative, wrote: “For a country to vote against compassionate treatment for an infant born alive it is unimaginable. Expected MAYBE from the usual moral hellholes such NY and CA but Montana?! The Left’s war on the unborn is legendary, grooming now sadly part of their jihad, but outright murder?”
Conservative journalist Ian Miles Cheong put it bluntly, tweeting, “It’s now legal to kill babies in Montana. America is so f —–.”

Pro-life activist Abby Johnson was disturbed by the results of the vote, tweeting, “I’m horrified that even ONE person would vote in Montana to deny babies healthcare after they’ve already been born. They’re basically saying they want the babies left out to die. To save our country, we need Jesus. Desperately.”
Cabot Phillips, Senior Editor at Daily Wire, stated that Montana voted to let babies die in operating rooms if they survived an attempted abortion. We will be judged for our wickedness.
