Is it possible for Utah conservatives to support women’s issues without buying into progressive or feminist ideologies? The right answer is yes, of course. But this journey has its distractions for Utah conservatives. And, as we know, especially during a hurried and heavily prioritized 45-day legislative session, most legislators, lobbyists and media have the attention span of tsetse flies, circumstances highly discouraging when asked to unpack issues wrongly perceived as too partisan or politicized.
This situation is unnecessary. There are many important issues primarily affecting women deserving immediate legislative attention. These issues should be prioritized if for no other reason than to do so would go a long way to help diminish political rancor, distrust and all sorts of needless tension and contention.
