“The Wyoming Supreme Court in a 4-1 majority ruled Tuesday that Wyoming’s abortion bans are unconstitutional, under the state Constitution’s promise of health care autonomy. The decision doesn’t defer to an earlier decision by Teton County District Court Judge Melissa Owens, but charts its own course through the constitutional amendment to arrive at the same ultimate result. … The ruling concludes four years of legal challenges that have fraught Wyoming since its 2022 abortion ban ‘triggered’ into place with the overturn of the federal abortion right under Roe vs. Wade. One sequel to that law and other abortion bans and restrictions have followed.” (01/06/26)
