Lawsuit seeks to block Wyoming’s ban on medication abortions
FILE - Police stand at the scene of an overnight fire that severely damaged a building that was being renovated to house a new abortion clinic in Casper, Wyo., Wednesday, May 25, 2022. With the nation's first explicit ban on abortion pills, Wyoming has pushed to the front of efforts to prohibit the most common type of abortion. Abortion-rights supporters filed an amended lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block Wyoming's new abortion pill ban from taking effect.
Until Gordon signed the ban on medication abortions, no state had passed a law specifically prohibiting such pills, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights. However, Wellspring Health Access, which is seeking to block the abortion pill ban and the broader measure, has been planning to open a clinic in Casper that would provide surgical and medication abortions. After an arson attack prevented that clinic from opening as planned last summer, organizers hoped to open it next month.
The new sweeping ban asserts that abortion is not health care and the amendment therefore doesn't apply to abortion.
