Utah bans abortion clinics in wave of post-Roe restrictions
Associated Press ^ | March 16, 2023 | Sam Metz

Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed legislation Wednesday that will by next year ban clinics from providing abortions, setting off a rush of confusion among clinics, hospitals and prospective patients in the deeply Republican state.

Administrators from hospitals and clinics have not publicly detailed their plans to adapt to the new law, adding a layer of uncertainty on top of fear that, if clinics close, patients may not be able to access care at hospitals because of a variety of staffing and cost concerns.

With the law set to start taking effect as early as May 3, both the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah and the Utah Hospital Association declined to detail how the increasingly fraught legal landscape for providers in Utah will affect abortion access. …

Got to love the objective AP reminding us how Republican Utah is. Why would patients panic if it’s “by next year” when a March conception is probably due in Nov? Who would wait nine months for an abortion. I loathe the advocacy legacy media. Why would March patients be frantic about a May law? Are they pre planning abortions but not pregnancy? Make it make sense AP! Oh right, your objective reporting is really designed to stir feelings and control election outcomes.
