Utah House Democrats on the Utah Supreme Court’s Decision to Uphold Injunction on Abortion Ban 

SALT LAKE CITY—The Utah House Democratic Caucus released the following statement in response to the Utah Supreme Court’s decision on Planned Parenthood of Utah v. State of Utah: 

“We stand with Utahns today, celebrating the Utah Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the injunction against the near-total abortion ban in our state. This ruling ensures that essential healthcare services remain accessible. Across the country, we have seen the devastating impact of aggressive abortion bans on women. Today, Utah avoids joining those statistics. 

As the lower courts review this law, we urge our colleagues and the judiciary to continue considering the harmful impact this ban would have on the health and well-being of Utahns. As your representatives, we promise to stand by you and continue the fight for your healthcare rights.”
