CI 128 doesn’t give blanket immunity for malpractice

Editor,
Truth in advertising should apply to these letters.
For example last week a Senate District 3 representative decried CI 128 saying its language gives blanket immunity to abortion providers for malpractice, etc.
If he would read what he wrote - and was printed, the cited bill clearly does not allow inept or medical malpractice to be ignored. Current safeguards in that area remain.
His remarks are clearly voided by the content he provided but my guess is his intent and hope was that he would instill fear and defeat a bill not to his liking.
His error was quoting the bill which clearly only cites the right to discuss the pros and cons of an
abortion with someone contemplating their choice.
The bill has no mention or intent of extending rights to a physician where ineptitude or malpractice occurred.
Trying to use fear, misinformation, and outright lies about what is going on works when you continue to direct you information to those without the ability or interest in differences in opinions.
It does not fly with those of us who listen to both sides and make choices based on honor, truth, purpose and effects our vote to what may help bring our nation forward and keep it from self destruction.
But I do agree, women in Montana deserve better service than you seem to provide.
