The Utah state House of Representatives passed a bill on Friday that would limit the number of abortions performed in the state.
Approved in the House by a 54 to 15 vote, the bill would make performing abortion on babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in the womb illegal.
“The legislation approved Friday would only go into effect if a similar law is upheld in court, a provision added to address concerns that it could embroil the state in an expensive lawsuit,” according to the Associated Press (https://www.dailywire.com/news/26197/utah-may-become-5th-state-ban-abortion-down-paul-bois).
The proposed bill follow suit after countries like Denmark and Iceland (https://www.lifenews.com/2018/01/22/utah-bill-would-make-it-4th-state-to-ban-abortions-on-babies-with-down-syndrome/) reportedly performed abortion specifically on pregnancies diagnosed with Down syndrome in an effort to eliminate the group. If passed, Utah would become the fourth state to protect babies with Down Syndrome in the womb, making aborting those with the disorder a class-A misdemeanor.
