Utah Eagle Forum tests Utah’s GOP candidates for governor
Sandy • All four of the Republican men on stage at the Utah Eagle Forum convention on Saturday were unambiguous in their opposition to abortion, stating clearly that they would sign a bill defining life as beginning at conception if given the opportunity as the state’s next governor.
Spencer Cox, the state’s current lieutenant governor, repeated his belief that future generations will come to view abortion as negatively as today’s Americans view slavery. And Greg Hughes, former Utah House Speaker, said it is as important as ever to monitor the national conversation on abortion and push back against liberal efforts to advance “infanticide.”
