(Salt Lake City, UT) — The Utah Supreme Court is delaying arguments in a lawsuit filed over a state law that would almost completely ban abortion. Lawyers for Planned Parenthood of Utah and the Attorney General’s Office were scheduled to give arguments about a temporary injunction blocking the law next month. But they have been told those arguments will be delayed until the court has a chance to consider a resolution passed by the state legislature earlier this year. That law changes the standard for getting a preliminary injunction and could be challenged in court because it applies retroactively. Until the injunction is dismissed, abortion in Utah remains legal up to 18 weeks into a pregnancy.
