In the Deseret News on March 22, 2012 there was an article titled "Options considered on new abortion law."  The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah wanted Governor Gary Herbert to veto House Bill 461.  The bill, which was signed into law, is the creates the nation's longest waiting period for an abortion.  The organizations are concerned about the constitutionality of the law.  I realize that the right of a woman to have an abortion should be hers to decide, and whether or not I agree with that, is immaterial.  Waiting 72 hours before being able to have an abortion doesn't seem too much to ask!
