Judge Rules Wyoming’s First-in-the-Nation Abortion Pill Ban Must Be Suspended While Lawsuit is Resolved

A judge in Wyoming has ruled that the state's first-in-the-nation law to ban abortion pills will not take effect on July 1 as planned. The lawsuit, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Wyoming and Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, argues that the ban is unconstitutional and would cause irreparable harm to patients seeking abortion care. Judge Melissa Owens ruled that the ban must be suspended while the lawsuit is being resolved, meaning that abortion pills will remain legal in Wyoming for the time being.
