We have released our first Pro-Life Legislative Score Card!! Check it out here.
ProLife Score Card
Welcome to the inaugural Pro-Life Utah 2020 Legislative Scorecard!
- Look up who your state legislators are here.
- Scroll bars on the sides and bottom of the score card allow you to see more legislators/votes
- Tabs on the bottom of the score card allow you to toggle between the State House and the State Senate.
- Our score card creates a composite score based on a legislator’s votes on pro-life bills that would promote the value of unborn human life (or lead to less abortions) as well as votes on pro-abortion bills that would devalue life (or lead to more abortions).
- We also created a "Leadership Score" which is calculated based on if a legislator sponsored/co-sponsored any pro-life legislation as well as if they spoke in favor of or in opposition to pro-life legislation. This score can be positive (more pro life) or negative (less pro-life).
Here are the bills and votes included in the score:
SB 67 - Humane Disposition of Fetal Remains
