found that between 2015 and 2016 about 92% of maternal deaths in the state were preventable. Over half of the maternal deaths in Utah, they found, occurred between 45-365 days after giving birth.
Lisonbee did not grant The Tribune’s request for an interview, nor did she respond to questions sent over email prior to publication of this piece. Most other attempts at establishing personhood, unlike Lisonbee’s, are wrapped into abortion laws.

One person spoke against the bill, saying it doesn’t go far enough to establish personhood.

A fetus is a human and has every right to live.
Driving in the HOV lane is “life-affirming” . WTH is wrong with these people?
Trib & leftists showing their true colors; they oppose increasing resources for prenatal care.
When your laws are written by ALEC...
Because it is a person…
I am a former fetus. My mom was awesome.
