The governor of Utah plans to sign legislation that would effectively ban abortion clinics inside the state.

Gov. Spencer Cox announced his intention Friday after the legislation passed the Utah Senate on Thursday.

Under the expected law, abortions would not be procurable from clinics and all legal abortion procedures would need to be performed in a hospital.

The proposal, introduced by Utah state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, would ban licensing of new abortion clinics within the state. It would also cease the operation of all current abortion clinics once their licenses expire.

The legislation also confirms the state's definition of abortion in order to address concerns on liability in legal exceptions to the Utah abortion ban.

"One of the concerns with the trigger bill that medical providers had across the state was there was a lack of clarity that would have made it hard for them to perform legal abortions," said Cox.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, a 2020 Utah state law banning abortions was immediately triggered into effect.

The ban does not apply in pregnancies involving rape, incest, threat to maternal well-being, and other common cases of exception.

Cox signed a bill in January banning gender-affirming surgery on minors who have not been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. 

The governor said it was important to pause "these permanent and life-altering treatments for new patients until more and better research can help determine the long-term consequences."

Former Mumford & Sons member Winston Marshall joined "Tucker Carlson Today" to discuss how cancel culture affected his life and career after speaking out against violence in the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.

The Grammy-winning rock band's guitarist and banjoist fell victim to cancel culture in 2021 after tweeting his support for a book by conservative author Andy Ngo that exposed the radical and violent tactics of Antifa.

At the time, Marshall called the book "important" and praised Ngo. He argued that anyone who cares about Black lives should have been dismayed by the violence that erupted following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

During this time, many celebrities were posting on social media black squares in support of Black Lives Matter and links to funds to bail out violent rioters who were accused of destroying property and attacking police. 

"I guess that's perhaps why what happened to me is because it was so contrary to the prevailing politics, I guess, of the creative industries," said Marshall. 

Marshall described when the initial outrage began he felt his life "start to crumble." 

"It was a real-life dog-pile. … The people I were working with, they were getting attacked by these Antifa. Maybe not quite as much as me, but they were getting harassed by these people as well."

Marshall, who now hosts a podcast, said the response was relentless, recalling that his Wikipedia page was changed repeatedly. 

"They're very effective online. There was a whole night where they were changing my Wikipedia page from Winston Marshall is a banjo player to ‘Winston Marshall is a fascist.’

"They just swarm you like hornets and everything they do to try and destroy you," said Marshall, adding that his friend was trying to correct the page only to have it changed over and over. 

Marshall said previously he has no regrets leaving the band.

"One needs to move forward and look forward in life. Things are what they are, and I’m enjoying the work I’m now doing very much."

Carlson spoke out against the intolerance of the left for dissenting views. 

"If you wind up with a society that cannot tolerate a man like Winston Marshall, who is rational, reasonable and decent, that's a problem. That's on you, not Winston Marshall," he said. 

The episode with Marshall is available now to watch on Fox Nation.
