Utah not enforcing abortion clinic ‘fetal pain’ law
rt.com
Nine months after Utah passed the nation’s first law requiring abortion providers to administer anesthesia to fetuses, the only licensed clinic in the state says that the state is not enforcing the law.
In May 2016, Utah Governor Gary Herbert (R) signed the “Protecting Unborn Children Amendment” law, which requires physicians to administer anesthesia or analgesic, a painkiller, to women having an abortion after 20 weeks’ gestation. These painkillers are not intended to aid the pregnant women, but only to “eliminate or alleviate organic pain to the unborn child.”...
State Senator Craig Bramble (R), who originally sponsored the bill in 2016, argues that avoiding "fetal pain" is not an undue burden on the right to get an abortion.
“In this quote ‘medical procedure,’ let’s call it what it is. It’s killing babies. And if we’re going to kill that baby, we ought to protect it from pain,” Bramble said, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
The law states the reason for administering anesthetic comes from “substantial medical evidence,” which they say have concluded that “an unborn child who is at least 20 weeks’ gestational age may be capable of experiencing pain during an abortion procedure.”
