President J. Stuart Adams and Speaker Mike Schultz issue the following statement regarding the Utah Supreme Court’s decision:
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision reinstated the authority of our state to regulate abortion policy. The Utah Legislature thoughtfully acted to ensure the state had a strong policy in place to protect both the unborn and the life of the mother. We are deeply disappointed by the Utah Supreme Court’s ruling today preventing our state’s abortion law from taking effect more than two years after the Dobbs decision. Through this ruling, the Utah Supreme Court is undermining the constitutional authority of the Legislature to enact laws as elected representatives of the people of Utah.”
