which would immediately ban virtually all elective abortions if the decision is overturned.
“Pro-Life Utah and our allies have worked hard over the years to lay a foundation for a post-Roe country and state,” said Pro-Life Utah president Mary Taylor. “So is our work complete? Unfortunately, no. In fact, we need all hands on deck more than ever now if we want to ensure an abortion-free state.”
Utah legislators l-r Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Morgan, Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Riverton, Rep. Cheryl Acton, R-West Jordan, Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield and Rep. Jordan Teuscher, R-South Jordan were among the hundreds attending Saturday's March for Life at the Utah Capitol, in conjunction with the national March for Life in D.C., Jan. 22, 2022.
Taylor hinted that Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Morgan, would be proposing legislation to make some “simple changes” to “protect women and save the lives of unborn babies.” She urged attendees to call their representatives and ask them to support Birkeland’s legislation and said only a “small number” of state legislators are willing to take on pro-life legislation.
She also asked attendees to donate to Pro-Life Utah, since they anticipate an even greater need for services next year, like“Every single child’s life is invaluable — but this work is not easy, and it’s not cheap,” Taylor said. “Please join us to find out how you can play a role in this important work. Now more than ever, like I said, we really need all hands on deck.”
I'm starting to believe, considering that Republicans clearly don't respect life (ie. covid spreading fast trackers), that this obsession to regulate women's health and bodies is more about their impulsive fascist proclivities.
Bring back the 16th century

Former Utah police detective pleads guilty to charge from Capitol insurrectionA retired Salt Lake City police detective pleaded guilty Friday to a misdemeanor stemming from the riot at the U.S. Capitol. OK, he was stupid for being there but quit using the word 'insurrection' as that is NOT what he was charged with. Now it is the Democrats and some in the media who are declaring a “plot to steal” the 2024 election due to state election laws. Indeed, these laws are portrayed as such an attack on democracy itself and undermine the legitimacy of the coming elections. Insurrection indeed.

Anti-abortion rights proponents say they are prepping for 'post-Roe America’The anti-abortion rights movement is at critical moment, motivated in large part by conservative justices on the Supreme Court who seem poised to rule in favor of states' stringent abortion laws. And what will SCOTUS do when other states use the same legal trick to pass other legislation? A partisan SCOTUS is what we have. We will pay dearly for their worship of trump and his republican toadies. Very dearly.
