Planned Parenthood Association of Utah filed court documents outlining the Utahns’ experiences as part of its request for a judge to continue blocking the law.

Utah’s abortion trigger law will continue to be on hold, a judge ruled Monday, siding with arguments made by Planned Parenthood Association of Utah.

The trigger law would have banned abortions in Utah, except for a few limited circumstances.
