abortion law

Judge Melissa Owens issued a temporary restraining order on Wednesday, blocking the implementation of Wyoming's trigger law, which would have banned abortion in Wyoming with a few exceptions.

The Wyoming ACLU put out a press release condemning final passage of House Bill 92, which would ban abortion in Wyoming if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.

The Wyoming Senate added a provision to an abortion ban, which would go into effect if it's banned nationally, providing an exception for rape or incest.

The ACLU of Wyoming spoke out against a bill that's close to being signed into law that would make abortion illegal if the Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade.

Current Wyoming law bans abortions prior to the age where the fetus is considered viable to live outside the womb.

Because the 2020 session of the Wyoming Legislature is a budget session, non-budget items such as House Bill 197 will require a 2/3 majority vote for introduction.
