Utah State Rep. Karianne Lisonbee has apologised for saying she trusts women to “control that intake of semen” to avoid pregnancy — on the same day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Utah’s abortion trigger ban went into effect.
Ms Lisonbee, a staunchly pro-life Republican who has a degree in family life from Brigham Young University, made the controversial comments on Friday as Utah legislators were celebrating the Supreme Court decision and the state’s subsequent implementation of laws prohibiting all abortions except for in limited circumstances.
