Welcome to Utah Judicial Bypass Project

Utah Judicial Bypass Project is here to help you navigate court proceedings if you are seeking to access safe, comprehensive, and supportive abortion services. We recognize that involving parents in every case may not be the best option, and we're here to connect minors seeking a judicial bypass with free experienced, judgment-free attorneys. 

Abortion care remains available in Utah. On July 11, 2022,  a Utah court granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of S.B. 174, the "trigger" law. On May 2, 2023, a Utah court blocked enforcement of another abortion law known as the "clinic ban". Abortion care up to 18 weeks remains legal and available in Utah in outpatient clinics while the injunctions remain in effect.

​We have a free, confidential hotline staffed by volunteers that you can call or text with questions about abortion or the judicial bypass process. Call or text us at ​(385)-202-3811​.
