Wyoming activists resist antiabortion efforts

Wyoming has been in the news recently as the first state to pass a law banning medication abortion. It won’t become effective until July 1. A previous ban on all abortions had already faced legal challenges from reproductive rights groups.

Several pro-abortion agencies and organizations filed a complaint in the ninth judicial district in Teton County on March 17. They had challenged the prior attempt and then argued that the new one was unconstitutional because it was too vague. 

The two laws that may go into effect will have some conflicting penalties for abortion. And the one that forbids medication abortion also details punishment for pharmacists who provide mifepristone and misoprostol, the two drugs that work in tandem to cause an abortion. 

Abortion medication is the primary method of ending pregnancies in Wyoming. With windy and snowy weather, traveling to abortion clinics for aspiration care is often difficult or impossible. So the people seeking abortions rely on telehealth and the mail to get what they need. 

Here are the related documents pertaining to the case:
