A Utah judge has ruled that the state law banning abortion clinics cannot take effect on Wednesday as scheduled amid a lawsuit filed by the state’s largest abortion provider
SALT LAKE CITY — — A Utah judge ruled on Tuesday that a recently passedcannot take effect on Wednesday as scheduled while the court deliberates over a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood.
In his ruling, Stone called the Utah Legislature’s objective in enacting the ban “nebulous” and agreed to delay implementing the law because Planned Parenthood had presented enough preliminary evidence to suggest it “singles out” abortion clinics without reason. Planned Parenthood argued the law would have effectively ended access to abortion throughout Utah, where clinics provide 95% of abortions.The lawsuit is the latest development to shape abortion access in Utah since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. The state is one of 19 to have tightened restrictions, with many relying on “trigger laws” passed in the years leading up to the decision.
