abortion

A federal appeals court is temporarily allowing the nation’s toughest abortion law to resume in Texas.

Legislation passed by the House on Friday would guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion.

The Justice Department is suing Texas over a new state law that bans most abortions, arguing that it was enacted “in open defiance of the Constitution.”

Wyoming State Representative Chuck Gray, one of the candidates hoping to replace Liz Cheney in the Senate, said that it's "great news" that the Texas Heartbeat Bill went into effect.

A Texas law that bans most abortions has providers and advocates preparing for an increasing number of women traveling to other states to end their pregnancies.

The Texas law, which was signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May and took effect at midnight, would prohibit abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks and before most women even know they’re pregnant.

Governor Gordon announced that Wyoming has joined Texas and 23 other states in filing an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the decision to regulate elective abortions should be left to individual states.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops overwhelmingly approved the drafting of a document that some bishops hope will be a rebuke for politicians who support abortion rights but continue to receive Communion.

U.S. Catholic bishops have overwhelmingly approved the drafting of a “teaching document” that many of them hope will rebuke Catholic politicians, including President Joe Biden, for receiving Communion despite their support for abortion rights.

The U.S. Supreme Court will consider arguments later this year over a Mississippi law that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks.
