Summary

HB480 introduces a new definition into the Utah Code pertaining to abortion care--"involuntary abortion" and allows individuals to request that their medical record reflect they received an involuntary abortion as opposed to an elective abortion. This is an unnecessary change that introduces a term that is not medically appropriate into code which could be used to further limit reproductive rights in the future.
