What: A federal judge struck down Wyoming’s abortion ban, ruling it unconstitutional and granting access to abortion in the state.
Key line: “Judge Melissa Owens of Teton County District Court wrote in her ruling that both the ban on medication abortion and a broader ban against all methods of abortion ‘impede the fundamental right to make health care decisions for an entire class of people, pregnant women.’ She added, ‘The abortion statutes suspend a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions during the entire term of a pregnancy and are not reasonable or necessary to protect the health and general welfare of the people.’”
