Gov. Spencer Cox is bracing for flooding and will give state employees a day off of work for volunteering to help with the emergency response in their communities.
— a bill that will outlaw abortion clinics in Utah — Cox said the new law will “absolutely not” enact a de facto ban on abortion, as it remains legal up to 18 weeks in the state., which has been blocked since a few days after it went into effect last summer, the bill makes a number of changes to abortion policy.
But she said the organization was concerned about how pushing abortions into hospitals might impact the cost of an abortion, and that the bill left in place a portion of the trigger law that makes performing an abortion in certain circumstances a second-degree felony. Access to abortion medication through pharmacies may be further restricted in coming days, as a federal court considers whether to pull mifepristone, one of two pills taken for an abortion, off the market. Andafter Attorney General Sean Reyes signed a letter threatening legal action if the chain didn’t stop distributing the pill in the mail in states where that’s legal.
