The American Civil Liberties Union of Wyoming released a statement on Tuesday, saying that Governor Gordon signed into law legislation that would "ban abortion entirely in Wyoming," if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to overturn Roe v. Wade.
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 bill would move to make abortion illegal in Wyoming when and if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
As the Supreme Court weighs the future of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, a resurgent anti-abortion movement plans to press its advantage in state-by-state battles while abortion-rights supporters prepare to play defense.
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.
