Gov. Spencer Cox (R-Utah) signed a bill banning abortion clinics across the state as Republicans continue their fight to protect the life of unborn babies.
The bill, now a statewide law, will require abortion clinics to shut down their doors by 2024 or when their medical licenses expire, whichever comes first.
The bill also bans women from having the procedure after 18 weeks of pregnancy.
Under the new law, all abortions will be forced to take place in a hospital where the procedure can be monitored by doctors who will adhere to the 18-week rule.
>>Lawmakers in Utah said the bill would protect "the innocent" and "the unborn," which was previously passed in 2019 but didn't go into effect until the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
