Letter: People may avoid traveling to or even through Utah 'given the risk that they will not receive the health care they seek or, in emergencies, need.'
I am a business school professor and former mayor of the ski resort town of Alta and, in my opinion, too tightly regulated abortion and reproductive health care laws will greatly harm the tourism and other industries in our state.
My unit at my university saw an unusually small number of applicants for a recent job posting, for example, and I suppose that this decreased interest in our position is because of the pending restrictions on health care for women. I urge our citizens and our legislators to continue to further Utah’s reputation as a business-friendly state and protect those industries that depend on the wide popularity of companies that care about, employ, or cater to women from around the U.S. and the world. Please oppose limits on reproductive health care for the sake of our economy .
