(SALT LAKE CITY, UT) - Brian King and Rebekah Cummings have released the following joint statement on the Utah Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the abortion ban injunction earlier this morning:
“Today’s ruling is a win for Utah families. While this case will now go back to the district court, by upholding the injunction, the Supreme Court made clear that the legislature and the governor likely overreached their authority and violated the constitutional rights of Utahns. But despite today’s victory, this bill should never have been passed or signed into law in the first place. We shouldn’t have to rely on the courts to protect us from our own leaders.
“As Utahns, we value agency and freedom, and we believe that the government has no place dictating the most personal, private decisions in our lives. You deserve a governor who respects your family enough to stand up for that freedom instead of putting it on the chopping block in pursuit of partisan political interests.”
