It institutes a full ban Jan. 1, 2024.
In addition to banning abortion clinics from operating, the law also clarifies the definition of abortion to address liability concerns about how exceptions are worded in state law — a provision Cox called a compromise. Planned Parenthood — which runs three of the four abortion clinics — said Monday afternoon that their interpretation that the law had conflicting provisions would compel them to stop providing abortions at their clinics as of May 3 unless the clinic licensing law was put on hold by the courts.
Utah lawmakers have previously said the law would protect “the innocent” and “the unborn,” adding that they don’t think the state needs the clinics after the high court overturned the constitutional right to abortion.Since the law’s passage, Republican legislators and Utah’s Department of Health and Human Services have both said that abortion clinics could apply for new licenses as hospitals.
