Preliminary Injunction Granted!
/in Abortion Ban LitigationJudge Campbell has preliminarily enjoined both the surgical abortion facilities requirements and the ultrasound/48 hour waiting period requirements for medication abortion. See Order.
Citing Judge Owens’ ruling that the health care amendment of the Wyoming Constitution applied, he Court relied on the “health care amendment” of the Wyoming Constitution. He found that the State’s assertion for the need of the surgical facilities requirements, including the admitting privileges, were without evidence. The State “fail[ed] to link the ASC requirements to women’s safety and general welfare.” He likewise found no basis for the ultrasound requirement, noting also that “a period of reflection…serves no legitimate purpose.”
This means that for now, abortion can be provided in Wyoming as it previously was. The case will continue to be litigated, but for now those provisions are enjoined. We still await the Wyoming Supreme Court’s ruling on the constitutionality of the abortion bans following oral arguments at the Court on April 16.
Wyoming Supreme Court Oral Argument – Wed., 4/16, 1:30 pm
/in Abortion Ban Litigation, Announcements, NewsThis Wednesday, 1:30 pm, 4/16/2025, the Wyoming Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in our constitutional challenge to the two abortion bans — overall and medication abortion specific — the Wyoming Legislature passed in 2023. Come listen – wear green for hope! The Teton County District Court ruled in our favor in November, finding that abortion is protected under the health care amendment which protects competent adults’ right to make decisions about their own health care. Additional bases, including equal protection and separation of church and state, exist under the Wyoming Constitution to find the laws unconstitutional. LIVESTREAM AVAILABLE HERE.
