2024 UT Governor's race: on Abortion


Brian King: Progressive mother's support for Roe v. Wade was influential

Brian's mother, a feminist and progressive, left an indelible mark on his values. She epitomized the principles of autonomy and equality. Her rational and logical approach to issues, notably her disappointment when the Equal Rights Amendment failed in Utah and her support for Roe v. Wade, influenced Brian and his brothers. The dining table debates became a training ground for Brian's ability to navigate nuanced discussions, embracing both emotional and analytical perspectives.

Brian King: Led the opposition to state's abortion prohibition

As minority leader, King led opposition to Utah's 2020 abortion prohibition and proposed gun control legislation requiring universal background checks on gun sales. King continues to be "very concerned" about "women's reproductive issues." He thinks it is just one example of Republicans "completely misreading the will and the desires of the people of the state of Utah with regard to these most personal private decisions in their lives" which has made Utahns more open to a Democratic alternative.
