Eight University of Utah medical school students: 'To nullify valuable health care and strip Utahns of their bodily autonomy is a reprehensible abuse of government power. When it comes to your health care, the final say should be yours.'
Planned Parenthood Metro Health Center's patient waiting room Tuesday, May 10, 2022.Imagine sitting in the exam room at your doctor’s office with a new diagnosis of high blood pressure. You learn that you are amongst the 50% of Americans diagnosed with this condition, and you must manage it appropriately to prevent harm to your health.
Like high blood pressure, abortion is common. By 45, three out of 10 pregnant people will have had an abortion. Yet, following the overturn of Roe vs. Wade and implementation of Utah’s abortion trigger law, abortion options for Utahns have evaporated. When you go to the doctor’s office, you deserve choices and the opportunity to make decisions about your health. The ability to weigh the risks and benefits of one’s medical care — and ultimately choose the best decision for oneself — is a fundamental human right. The personal opinions of lawmakers have no place when it comes to your healthcare decisions.
The calculus is intensely personal, and one person’s choice to do an additional round of chemotherapy does not invalidate another’s choice to go on hospice. It is an egregious intrusion on your privacy for the government, or anyone other than yourself, to dictate the care that you or anyone else can ultimately receive.
