A Utah law that would have required abortions before 18 weeks to be performed in a hospital and criminalized abortions performed in abortion clinics has been placed on hold.
Days before a ban on abortion clinics is slated to begin putting a halt to most abortions in Utah, a district court judge said he’ll make a decision as to whether to enjoin the law next week.
The Utah Supreme Court has canceled arguments in the lawsuit challenging the state's near-total ban on abortion while it explores the impact of a rule change pushed through by the legislature.
