The Montana Family Foundation expresses deep disappointment and concern following Judge Krueger's recent ruling to enjoin three critical bills to defend unborn babies: HB 136, HB 171, and HB 140 from the 2021 session. This ruling, issued by Judge Krueger from Butte, undermines the sanctity of life and disregards the values held dear by the people of Montana.
HB 136 aimed to protect pain-capable babies by banning abortions after 20 weeks gestation, HB 171 sought to prevent the distribution of abortion drugs via mail, and HB 140 aimed to ensure that women considering abortion are provided with important medical information through ultrasound imagery. These bills were designed to safeguard the lives of the most vulnerable among us and to uphold the dignity of all human beings.
President Jeff Laszloffy of the Montana Family Foundation expressed his disagreement with Judge Krueger's ruling, stating,
"It is disheartening to see Judge Krueger prioritize the abortion industry over the protection of innocent lives. This decision further illustrates the radical nature of the Montana judiciary, which appears to be more progressive than even the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals."
Furthermore, Laszloffy remarked on the legacy of disregard for human life that seems to be perpetuated by some members of the Montana judiciary, noting the impact of another retiring judge leaving behind such a legacy. Judge Krueger has announced that he will not seek re-election.
The Montana Family Foundation reassures its supporters and the pro-life community that it remains steadfast in its commitment to defending the rights of the unborn and advocating for policies that respect the sanctity of human life. Despite this setback, the Foundation will continue to fight against judicial activism that undermines the values and principles cherished by the people of Montana.
The Montana Family Foundation is a Judeo-Christian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and defending traditional family values, religious freedom, and the sanctity of human life in Montana.

Every now and then there is a news item in which a politician at some level of government proclaims new funding and a bright, new era for rural infrastructure, and sometimes this is even specifically targeted on telecommunications. Not so long ago Governor Gianforte promised that we rustics were in line for splendidly rapid Internet connections. I wrote him two inquiries about how and when that would impact my wife and me and continue to await a reply.
I have also read some critics’ assessments that increased funding to utility companies for improved, rural Internet service results in their burying miles of fiber-optic capable along well-maintained, all-weather roads
and forgetting about anyone that is not easily accessible.
Lacking any data to substantiate that claim, I have for guidance only personal observation and an authoritative proclamation from the General Manager at Midrivers Telecommunications. He told us, “You will NEVER [emphasis mine] see any sort of cable out where you live,” so I guess that’s that for us for all time and appears to short-circuit any politician’s promise, doesn’t it?
To illustrate the fact that even Roundup’s dead have better Internet access than we, my wife snapped the accompanying photograph that includes a fiber-optic post.
