Wyoming judge rules state's abortion ban, including on medication abortions, violates women's rights.

A Wyoming judge has struck down the state's ban on abortion and its specific prohibition on medication abortions, ruling they violate women's rights under the state constitution. This decision comes after similar challenges by four women, including two obstetricians, and two nonprofit organizations. The ruling follows voter support for abortion access in seven states and marks a significant victory for abortion rights advocates. Wyoming had been the only state to explicitly ban abortion pills.
