Republican state lawmakers backpedaled less than a day after sending cease and desist letters to abortion providers in Utah, threatening prosecution if they violate an abortion trigger law that is currently on hold in the state.
The letters, signed by a group of Utah House Republicans, threatened prosecution for people who provide or fund abortions while an injunction keeps Utah’s trigger law on hold.
Friday morning, the lawmakers walked back the threat, sending an email to reporters clarifying that the letters were only “our opinion and the opinion of the legislators who signed it.” In addition to Birkeland and Lisonbee, the letter was signed by 20 GOP Utah representatives and two candidates challenging Republican incumbents whose names were not on the letter.
