Caucus Statement on HJR2
SALT LAKE CITY – We are deeply saddened to see the passing of HJR 02. It is disappointing for the legislature to interrupt ongoing legal action. This is yet another power grab to curb the rights of Utahns and undermine the courts. We are upset to see anti-abortion legislators be so dedicated to denying people access to life saving medical care.
As House Democrats we put trust in the judicial system, we know that we serve no purpose in curtailing their role and rights. We believe that our three branches of government serve to balance one another to prevent the concentration of unchecked power.
