Equal Protection Platform Amendment
Although many who say they are ProLife agree that abortion is murder, abortion has not been opposed in any way that is consistent with their proposed legislation. If abortion is murder then it should be treated as such. We must call our legislators to enact equal protection laws for every human being.
Current Platform
Right To Life
We believe in the right to life for both the born and the unborn. We strongly oppose abortion, except to preserve the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest. We believe the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed. We believe all human life is sacred regardless of age or infirmity, and therefore we oppose abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the public funding of any of these abhorrent practices.

Proposed Amendment:
Right To Life
We believe in the right to life for both the born and preborn. We believe all human life is sacred, regardless of age or infirmity. Therefore, we strongly oppose abortion and urge lawmakers to enact legislation to abolish abortion by securing equal protection laws for preborn children from the moment of fertilization. We encourage Utah legislators to make the adoption process less intrusive while protecting the children’s safety and best interests. We oppose abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the public funding of any of these abhorrent practices.
