So, Utah law _already_ means no links to Planned Parenthood et alia.
Planned Parenthood is quite alive and well in Utah. Contraceptives are freely advertised on TV and given out on campus at the U of U. All of the other stuff you're seeing is either: 1) unenforcable old blue laws similar to how Native Americans need to be escorted by police in Massachussetts (i.e. they never got around to fixing old bad law, but noone cares anymore) 2) political posturing by elected officials (also relatively common in other parts of the world. c.f. US Congress, both parties) 3) Something which, while it COULD be extended to mean something ridiculous, will NOT be. For crying out loud - this is UTAH, not the moon: the people there are just like people everywhere. Yeah, they tend to be a bit more socially conservative than the libertarian-leaning NANOG membership is used to, but it's not like they've got 2 heads and three arms - if you prick them, they'll bleed... so while I agree that this is a goofy law which was poorly written - there IS a demand for this type of service, and we'll see how it plays out. -David Barak need Geek Rock?
