Preliminary Injunction Hearing 4/8/2025

On April 8, 2025, we will finally get a hearing on our motion for preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of the two laws passed this legislature to make getting an abortion in Wyoming more difficult. One law requires an ultrasound and 48 hour delay prior to getting a medication abortion. The other law sets onerous and unnecessary standards for a facility providing “surgical” abortions. Studies have shown doctors accurately assess whether an ultrasound is necessary; requiring one for every person provides no better, safer outcomes and merely establishes financial and logistical barriers. Likewise, a 48 hour delay is demeaning to the person seeking abortion care. They do not need government telling them to take a “time out” before deciding to have an abortion. The surgical facilities requirements set up excessive requirements that offices of private doctors do not need to meet when doing other equally or even more invasive procedures such as vasectomies and hysteroscopies.
