Wyoming Supreme Court strikes down abortion bans

Abortion remains legal in Wyoming after the state’s Supreme Court struck down laws seeking to restrict the practice.

The court ruled in favor of an abortion clinic and its allies, who categorized the procedure as healthcare, a judgment that could have sweeping implications for how other states regulate the policy. Justices agreed that the laws limiting abortions violated a 2012 state constitutional amendment stating residents have the right to make personal healthcare decisions.
