Utah’s pro-life Gov. Spencer Cox has signed HB 467 which had overwhelming support in both houses of the legislature. HB 467 “requires all abortion procedures, whether through surgery or medication, to be performed by hospitals,” Cami Mondeaux reported. “The legislation discontinue abortion clinic licensing for new centers after May 2 and block clinics from operating once their current licenses expire.”
Along with banning abortion facilities, “the bill also requires doctors to provide information about perinatal hospice and palliative care to pregnant mothers whose unborn babies are diagnosed with a fatal condition,” Micaiah Bilger reports. Cox, “a pro-life Republican, signed the pro-life law, along with dozens of others, after the state legislature passed it by an overwhelming majority earlier this month.”
