abortion law

While members of the community have come to the Casper City Council to get them to take a stand against a proposed abortion clinic, the council made clear at their meeting on Tuesday that they would prefer not to divide each other over something like abortion.

The head of a soon to be opened abortion clinic in Casper put out a statement in response to a leaked Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.

The Wyoming ACLU put out a press release condemning final passage of House Bill 92, which would ban abortion in Wyoming if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.

The Wyoming Senate added a provision to an abortion ban, which would go into effect if it's banned nationally, providing an exception for rape or incest.

Current Wyoming law bans abortions prior to the age where the fetus is considered viable to live outside the womb.

Because the 2020 session of the Wyoming Legislature is a budget session, non-budget items such as House Bill 197 will require a 2/3 majority vote for introduction.
