Preliminary Injunction Granted – Off-label prescription

On 6/30/2025, the Natrona County District Court GRANTED our motion to preliminarily enjoin the abortion restrictions in HB 164.  The court saw through the legislature’s “semantic hair-splitting” and noted that to read the law as not prohibiting off-label use for abortion purposes was “strained and untenable.” We are grateful Wyomingites will continue to be able to receive the healthcare they need for pregnancies and miscarriages, unrestricted by unconstitutional restrictions unfounded in medicine.

While mifepristone has on-label use listed up to 10 weeks, it is commonly prescribed after 1o weeks or at modified dosages. Abortion purposes are not an on-label use for misoprostol making its use without mifepristone — a common usage — not authorized under this statute. Likewise, misoprostol’s use to soften the cervix prior to a procedural abortion is not authorized.
