We would like to thank Representative Cheryl Acton for all her hard work and courageous action in defending life. She has had multiple Interviews (on and off camera) all day because of the injunction filed today to stop the enactment of HB136. She sent the following press release to the media:  Press ReleaseRepresentative Cheryl Acton
Though I cannot say that I welcomed a lawsuit against HB136, I did expect one because the ACLU and Planned Parenthood use the threat and cost of litigation to intimidate states into maintaining the status quo on abortion, regardless of the sentiments of the people of those states. Planned Parenthood makes a lot of money on the abortion of babies, and HB136 threatens that revenue stream. Both organizations capitalize on lawsuits in their fundraising efforts, so they cannot be said to be unbiased on the issue. HB136 was passed by elective representatives expressing the will of the people of Utah. That is the proper way for laws to be passed, according to our state and federal Constitutions. I ran HB136, limiting elective abortion to 18 weeks, for four primary reasons: 1) The physical, psychological, and future fertility health of women, because abortion's risks to women increase exponentially with gestation. The increased rate of suicide and mental health issues, as well as future fertility issues, are especially well documented. 2) Fetal pain perception, which increases over gestation with all circuitry in place by 18 weeks. We can now observe that fetuses do feel pain by monitoring fetal pulse, blood flow, and stress hormones. We also have a real-time window into the womb through advances in ultrasound technology. 3) The abortion procedure used in second trimester abortion shocks the conscience. The abortionist dismembers a living baby in the womb then re-assembles the body on a tray to ensure that all parts were removed. In Utah, we have laws against dismembering a human corpse, but it is lawful to dismember a living unborn child. Interestingly, this procedure was not used in 1973, when Roe v Wade was handed down. 4) Most countries, including most Western European countries, limit abortion to the first trimester, or 12-13 weeks. HB136 preserves a woman's right to choose abortion for any reason at all until 18 weeks, and allows an array of exceptions after 18 weeks (longer than one NFL football season), including one new exception. (Those exceptions are rape, incest, life of the mother, permanent impairment of the mother, fatal fetal defect, and severe fetal brain abnormality.) Utah should be leading out on this issue, because the vast majority of Utahns oppose abortion, especially in the second trimester. (According to a Gallup poll conducted in May 2018, 72% of people nationally oppose second trimester abortion.) With the nation's highest birthrate, Utah should be the safest place in the nation for all people, especially children, born and unborn. It is my hope that abortion law will be returned to the states, where it resided prior to Roe, so that the people of each state may decide the issue in the normal legislative process. ### Pro-Life Leaders: We Must Expose The Equal Rights Amendment!
The Equal Rights Amendment is not about Equal Rights—it is about ensuring abortion is legal in all nine months and taxpayer funded.
In 1982, the ERA fell three states short of ratification to be added as an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. However, abortion activists are now afraid that Roe v. Wade is going to fall, returning the decision of legal abortion back to the States. The National Organization for Women President, Toni Van Pelt, has already admitted, the ERA “is hugely important for reproductive rights, for birth control, for abortion…" To “protect” abortion, the pro-abortion lobby has decided to try to ratify the ERA in the remaining three states and then hope Congress or the courts will nullify the original time expiration. Legislators in Nevada and Illinois have already voted to ratify, there is only one state left. You are invited!

We are expecting a House vote on SJR9, Convention to Amend the United States Constitution TODAY. This is our LAST CHANCE, it has already passed the Senate, If you don't wan't this to pass, you need to ACT TODAY!! If the resolution passes in the House today Utah will then be one of the States calling for a Constitutional Convention that could re-write our divinely inspired US Constitution. We are now at that time in History where YOU are needed to Save The US Constitution. Join us, and other like minded Patriots at the Capitol Tonight to voice your opposition regarding SJR9 to your elected representatives. For those who can't possibly make it, be sure to send your emails as soon as possible so they will have them before the vote. ***Scroll down for the Legislator names and contact information*** The group pushing this horrible bill is called Convention of States, or COS, it is an organization whose sole purpose is to convince state legislatures to pass their model legislation. COS has proposed over 20 amendments, which by their own words is intentionally vague. COS attorney Robert Kelly said, “our application is fairly broad ... it opens up all the articles, that’s true!” Please remember that all 50 states with differing agendas will be there proposing amendments, such as, election laws, energy policy, education, healthcare, religious freedom, marriage equality, gender identity, Equal Rights Amendment, balanced budget, term limits etc. How is that not rewriting the constitution? Jordan Sillars, Communication Director for COS, said, “I think the majority of Americans are too lazy to elect honest politicians. But I think some men and women could be found who are morally and intellectually capable of re-writing the Constitution.” PLEASE ACT NOW THE VOTE WILL BE TODAY - Email and text the members below, ask them to VOTE NO to the Resolution Calling for a Convention of the States to change the US Constitution!
