Utah Implements Post-Roe Restrictions, Bans Abortion Clinics.

Utah's Republican Governor has signed a law that will ban clinics from providing abortions by next year, causing confusion among clinics, hospitals, and prospective patients. The law prohibits clinics from obtaining new licenses after May 2 and institutes a full ban on Jan. 1, 2024. The new restrictions are most likely to affect those seeking to terminate pregnancies via medication, which accounts for the majority of abortions in Utah and the United States. The law takes on added significance amid legal limbo surrounding other abortion laws that have been signed in Utah.
