Lawmakers in Utah on Thursday passed a new measure that would make most abortions in the state illegal if Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court.

The Utah Legislature also passed a bill making it a requirement for medical facilities and abortion clinics to cremate or bury fetal remains, The Associated Press reports.

A different bill that would have required women to look at an ultrasound before getting an abortion failed after six female senators from both parties walked out of the vote in protest.

“I think it was a loud message and one I think we, as men, ought to take a hard look at," Gov. Gary Herbert (R) told the wire service about the protest. "Are we listening? Are we getting all the information we need to?”

Herbert has generally opposed abortion.

Last year, Utah banned abortions after 18 weeks, though the measure has been held up in litigation since then. If it stands, though, it would one of the most strict abortion laws in the country.
