The most dangerous place in America is the mother's womb. And in Montana, it's no different. Judge Mike Menahan, prefers to exterminate while babies live in their mother's bellies.
He ruled nurse practitioners and midwives may perform early-term abortions (Kuglin, Tom. 2022). No matter how they spin the practice, it's another term for pre-meditated murder. A tactic used by dictators and tyrants throughout the ages, "reproduction prevention" (Goldhagen, Daniel Jonah. 2009).
And when nurse practitioners like Helen Weems champions the cause, it must make one ask why. Isn't a nurse's job to protect life and not destroy it?
Yet she embraces the decision without hesitation. Does she not care about the long-term negative impact it'll have. Does she have no mercy for the mental anguish these ladies may face?
Today's decision is a huge win for Montanans. Recognizing nurse practitioners and nurse midwives as safe, competent, legal providers of abortion is a significant step forward in making abortion more accessible in our state. We live in a huge state with a very real scarcity of abortion providers. Opening the field to all qualified providers will go a long way in meeting the essential health care needs of all Montanans.

Maybe the reason for Helen's joy lies in her belief system. You see, nurses like her may not believe in the Nightingale Pledge. A pledge where they swear an oath before God and promise to live a life in purity. To abstain from works which can cause harm to their patients (Alana Luna. 2020).
I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.
— The Nightingale Pledge
And therein the issue might lie. In modern America, most disagree with the pledge. Their reason, it refers to God and asks them to carry themselves in moral life and free from evil. To protect those they oversee. To rise above corruption and act with morals in all their deeds.
But, for most, it's too much to ask. Too much responsibility to bear. Healthcare workers want to live how they see fit without restriction. Yet, they don't care about the life they took from the mother's womb they serviced. Leaving a generation without the freedom, they want for themselves.
And we can see this disregard for human life in Helen's senseless sentiments. She proclaims how murder's a step forward for Montana. In reality, it's a step back right into the death camps of the 30s.
She's no different from Hitler's henchmen who helped implement his policies. All those deemed intolerable, sterilization and reproductive preventions measures enacted (Goldhagen, Daniel Jonah. 2009, pg. 70).
They may use contraceptives or practice abortion--the more the better. In view of the large families of the native population, it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible. Active trade in contraceptives ought to be actually encouraged in the Eastern territories, as we could not possibly have the slightest interest in increasing the non-Germanic population."
— Aldolf Hitler, (Harvest of Hate, 1954, pp. 273-4 emphasis added)
This judgment shows the absolute decay in American society. The happiness expressed has nothing to do with women's health. It's about financial gain for those who perform the heinous act.
Once again abortionists sued to lower the standard of care for Montana women in order to further their financial interests in performing as many abortions as possible.
— Emilee Cantrell, Montana Department of Justice
If we don't stand now, there'll be none left to save those who can't stand for themselves—the baby in their mother's womb.
First they came for the unborn
And I did not speak out
Because I was not unborn
Then they came for the woman
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a woman
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
