Majority-Woman Utah Supreme Court Upholds Injunction on Abortion Ban, Keeps 18-Week Limit
Aug 1, 2024, 12:31 PM
The majority-woman Utah Supreme Court has ruled to uphold the injunction blocking the state's near-total abortion ban from taking effect. This decision means that abortion will remain legal in Utah up to 18 weeks of pregnancy while the case continues to be litigated in the lower courts. The trigger law, which would outlaw abortion completely except in cases of rape, incest, and threats to the mother's health, was initially put on hold following the overturning of Roe v. Wade two years ago. The court's ruling sided with some of Planned Parenthood's arguments, maintaining the current legal status of abortion in the state. At the center of the case is whether the state constitution's equal rights clause extends to medical decisions.
