The parental consent law passed in 2013, but was blocked in court and never took effect before being invalidated last year. [...] Montana’s highest court recognized a right to abortion before the Supreme Court overturned it nationwide, and voters also enshrined it in the Montana Constitution last year. That amendment took effect July 1, 2025.

Abortion is explicitly legal in Montana. The parental consent law would have meant that parental approval was required for a minor to get an abortion.

The Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade made it state laws that matter on abortion.

What does state law matter if Montana doesn't exist ?
