Wyoming Supreme Court keeps abortion legal, strikes down pill ban
Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down two laws that include the nation’s first explicit ban on abortion pills. The justices sided with the state’s only abortion clinic and others Tuesday in ruling that the laws violate the Wyoming Constitution. A lower court judge struck down the laws in 2024, ruling they violate a constitutional amendment that says competent adults have the right to make their own health care decisions. Earlier, the same judge blocked the laws from taking effect. Wyoming sought to join 13 states that have banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
