Recently, a group of Utah lawmakers introduced a “pro-family” bill package featuring expanded contraceptive access, comprehensive sex education, infertility coverage, childcare options and family leave policies.
As a parent, I was impressed. If we are serious about wanting to be a pro-family state in action and not just in name, this is how we do it. We need bold policies like these that put our money where it matters and give Utah families the meaningful support they deserve.
After resigning myself to the belief that perhaps the Utah Legislature won’t pass anything that would actually be pro-family in more than just words, it’s exciting that this group of lawmakers has the vision to boldly address systemic issues affecting Utah families.
