Judge strikes down Wyoming’s anti-abortion laws in victory for rights advocates

Wyoming was the only state to explicitly ban abortion pills - one of the laws struck down on Monday

A Wyoming judge has struck down the state's overall ban on abortion and its first-in-the-country explicit prohibition on the use of medication to end pregnancy - in line with voters in further states voicing support for abortion rights.

The Teton county district judge, Melissa Owens, has ruled three times since 2022 to block the laws while they were disputed in court.
