Abortion and Utah County Democrats

The platform of the Utah County Democratic Party, adopted in June 2006, makes the following statement about abortion:

As Utah County Democrats we believe in the sanctity of human life and that there should be a balance between the rights of the woman and her unborn child. We believe that every abortion is a tragedy. We oppose elective abortion for personal or social convenience, and believe that abortion should be limited to instances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or in cases of fatal fetal deformities or when competent medical authority determines that there is a serious threat to the life or health of the mother. We again recognize those who hold differing views on this issue and seek to resolve our differences in a spirit of respectful cooperation.
