Planned Parenthood Association of Utah v. State of Utah
This case involves a challenge to Utah Senate Bill (鈥淪.B.鈥�), a law that criminalizes nearly all abortions in Utah. In June 2022, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah (鈥淧PAU鈥�), one of only two abortion providers in the state, challenged S.B. 174 in Utah state court. It is currently litigating in the Utah Supreme Court to ensure the law remains blocked while courts consider the case. PPAU is represented in the appeal by the 红杏视频鈥檚 State Supreme Court Initiative, along with the 红杏视频 of Utah, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Utah law firm Zimmerman Booher. In August 2024, in a major win for Utahns, the Court affirmed the lower court order blocking SB 174. As a result, abortion remains legal in Utah until 18 weeks of pregnancy.

Roe v. Patton
The 红杏视频 of Utah and the national 红杏视频 LGBT Project filed a lawsuit to force the State Office of Vital Records and Statistics to recognize a married same-sex couple as legal parents of their child. The lawsuit was filed in Utah federal court on behalf of Angie and Kami Roe, who seek to both be recognized as parents to their daughter, Lucy.
Under Utah鈥檚 assisted reproduction statute, the husband of a woman who conceives with donated sperm is automatically recognized as the child鈥檚 parent. But because Angie is Kami鈥檚 wife instead of her husband, the State Office of Vital Records and Statistics refuses to recognize Angie as Lucy鈥檚 parent.
