Wyoming Judge Declares State Abortion Bans Unconstitutional

TL;DR Summary
A Wyoming state judge has struck down the state's overall abortion ban and its specific prohibition on medication abortions, citing violations of women's rights under the state constitution. This decision aligns with recent voter support for abortion rights in several states. The ruling is a victory for abortion rights advocates and challenges laws that restricted abortion access, including a ban on abortion pills. The case was brought by four women and two nonprofits, arguing the bans harmed health and violated a constitutional amendment on healthcare decisions.
