The decision revives a lawsuit filed by 94 women who said their OB-GYN sexually abused them. Previously, a lower court determined that the actions they alleged had to be treated as medical malpractice.
There’s only so much a court can do in the face of a hostile and unrepresentative legislature, but to its credit, Utah’s supreme court has refused to let a near total abortion ban take effect, and just in the last day they slapped down the legislature’s attempt to gerrymander the state against the will of the people.
Believe it or not, even with almost all the power in the state held by the Mormons, with some of their crazy beliefs, Utah actually has a lot of sensible legislation on the books and regularly makes common sense rulings easily.
