Wyoming Judge Strikes Down Overall Abortion Ban, First-in-the-Nation Medication Prohibition

Nov 19, 2024, 02:25 AM

A state court judge has ruled against Wyoming's comprehensive abortion ban, including its unprecedented prohibition on medication used to terminate pregnancies. This decision marks a significant legal development, as it challenges the state's restrictive abortion laws, which were among the most stringent in the country. The ruling is expected to be appealed to the Wyoming Supreme Court, where all justices were appointed by Republican governors, potentially complicating the future of abortion rights in the state.
