Members of the Utah County Commission voted unanimously Tuesday for a resolution stating that life begins at the moment of conception and opposing the loosening of restrictions on abortion and euthanasia.
“Utah County declares itself a safe haven for all of its citizens,” the resolution states, “including the unborn, the elderly, and the mentally and physically impaired.”
The nonbinding resolution sponsored by Commission Chairman Bill Lee, comes one month after the passage of a similar resolution in Riverton City, and one week after the launch of a campaign to end elective abortions in the state.
