Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed legislation Wednesday that will by next year ban clinics from providing abortions.
Administrators from hospitals and clinics have not publicly detailed their plans to adapt to the new law.
Experts fear that, if clinics stop providing abortions, patients may not be able to access care at hospitals.
The turmoil mirrors developments in Republican strongholds throughout the U.S. that have taken shape since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade decision.
The new law takes on added significance amid legal limbo surrounding other abortion laws that have been signed in Utah.
Last year’s Supreme Court ruling triggered two previously passed pieces of legislation.
The Planned Parenthood Association of Utah sued over the 2020 ban, and in July, a state court delayed implementing it until legal challenges could be resolved.
