Representative Philpott (speaker who introduces the bill text) opens debate on House Bill 123, arguing Utah has "over 3,200" abortions per year and that a broad 'health' exception in Utah Code 76-7-302 allows most therapeutic abortions; he cites AP statistics (02/2001) and Roe v. Wade as background for why funding — not legality — is the focus of his proposal to bar public funding for abortions.
