Abortion still legal, available in Wyoming.
/in Abortion Ban LitigationAlthough Wellspring Health Access is temporarily not providing abortions as HB 42 has taken effect and we await a court hearing, medication abortion is still legal and available in Wyoming. Just The Pill continues to provide Telehealth medication abortion. We believe St. John’s Family Practice in Jackson continues to provide. Medication abortion also remains fully available from reliable online providers like Abuzz, The MAP, and Aid Access, easily found at plancpills.org. Call/text us at 307-438-9272 for help accessing medication or procedural abortion.
Complaint filed to enjoin enforcement of bills intended to hinder abortion in Wyoming.
/in Abortion Ban LitigationOn February 28, 2025, Chelsea’s Fund, along with Wellspring Health Access, Just the Pill, Dr. Rene Hinkle, Dr. Giovannina Anthony, and Danielle Johnson, filed suit to enjoin and find unconstitutional HB 42 and HB 64, two bills the Wyoming Legislature just passed in an effort to impeded abortion care in Wyoming. Chelsea’s Fund is fully committed to taking every action possible to support Wyomingites’ ability to exercise their reproductive freedom, access the abortion care they (not the government) decide they need, and to value the bodily autonomy and dignity of pregnant (or potentially pregnant) Wyomingites.
District Court: Abortion is health care; bans are unconstitutional
/in Abortion Ban LitigationOn November 18, 2024, Teton County District Court Judge Melissa Owens issued her order finding both the overall criminal abortion ban (“Life is a Human Right Act”) and the medication abortion ban unconstitutional as violating Wyoming Constitution, article 1, section 38 which provides all individuals with the fundamental right to their own personal autonomy when making medical decisions.
In her 35 page order, Judge Owens ruled as follows:
We are grateful that Wyoming women’s personal autonomy, health and safety have been unequivocally recognized, valued and upheld. This benefits all Wyomingites (and others, too).
Today, abortion remains legal in Wyoming. We will do everything in our power to uphold this ruling in the Wyoming Supreme Court. Our principles of care and justice in Wyoming demand it.
