The Legislature gave final approval to an amended resolution that could make it easier for the state to end the hold on Utah's trigger abortion ban.
. And though the resolution is widely seen to be targeting the hold on Utah's abortion law, even its proponents say it may have a negligible effect on the ban.
"I don't see this rule weighing, you know, having much of a dispositive effect on the arguments at the Supreme Court," Majority Assistant Whip Kirk Cullimore told reporters last week. "And so, although it seems like it was targeted at this specific law on this lawsuit, I don't know that it's really going to have an actual effect on the ongoing lawsuit."of simply trying to change the court rules after receiving a temporary ruling they didn't like.
"It should be alarming to everyone that legislators are willing to weaken the democratic structures of the state to change court orders that they disagree with," said Karrie Galloway, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah president and CEO, in a statement. "Instead of altering the rules in the middle of the game by rewriting the standards for Utah's courts, the Legislature should do its job and focus on providing more stability and security to Utah families.

But that ship has sailed. What are going to be some results of the voucher bill?
