Gender Bias in the Drafting of Utah's Constitution Exposed by Judge

Anti-abortion attorneys defending Utah's abortion trigger ban appealed to the state Supreme Court, arguing that the state Constitution clearly prohibits abortion. However, Judge Paige Petersen reminded them that women did not help draft the Constitution in 1895, questioning how their rights and perspectives were represented. Planned Parenthood, which is suing for the injunction on the ban, argued that it has standing to challenge the law on behalf of its patients, highlighting the potential harm and limited access to healthcare that the ban would cause.
