Our latest example comes from state Rep. Cheryl Acton. The West Jordan Republican really, really doesn’t like abortion — and she’s prepared to spend a lot of your money in a thoroughly futile crusade against the practice.
This week, Acton rolled out a bill that would ban abortion in Utah after 15 weeks of gestation. If the Legislature passes the bill, Utah would join the ranks of Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Kentucky, which all have similar laws.
And about 30 seconds later, Utah would join every one of those states where a judge has prevented the law from being enacted.
