A judge in Wyoming is hearing arguments over whether to temporarily block a state abortion ban on the day it took effect
Anti-abortion supporters try to cover a sign of an abortion rights supporter during an anti-abortion rally as the Indiana Senate Rules Committee met a Republican proposal to ban nearly all abortions in the state during a hearing at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, Tuesday, July 26, 2022. CHEYENNE, Wyo. — — A judge in Wyoming heard arguments Wednesday from a firebombed women's health clinic and others over whether to temporarily block a state abortion ban on the day it took effect.
Attorneys arguing before Teton County District Judge Melissa Owens, in Jackson, disagreed over whether the Wyoming Constitution provided a right to abortion. The hearing continued into late morning with no immediate ruling from Owens on a requested temporary restraining order against the ban. Wyoming’s hearing comes one day after Indiana Republican lawmakers narrowly advanced a plan to ban nearly all abortions in the state, despite opposition from abortion-rights supporters, who say the bill goes too far, and anti-abortion activists, who say it doesn’t go far enough.
The law will outlaw abortions except in cases of rape or incest or to protect the mother’s life or health, not including psychological conditions. Wyoming until Wednesday had allowed abortions up to the point of viability outside the mother, or around 23 weeks into pregnancy.
