Natrona County

A Natrona County court has blocked laws related to ultrasounds for abortion seekers and renovations for abortion clinics. The judge said they violate Wyomingites’ right to make their own healthcare decisions, among other arguments.

Abortion is legal once again in Wyoming. A temporary restraining order is in place as litigation continues on the Human Heartbeat Act.

A judge heard arguments on a new lawsuit challenging the Human Heartbeat Act, which bans most abortions starting around six weeks when there’s cardiac activity. The law is still in effect while the judge weighs arguments.

Abortion access advocates had asked to add the new Human Heartbeat Act, a six-week-ban, to an existing lawsuit to efficiently block the law. Now, they are filing a separate lawsuit.

The Natrona County Fire District is asking people to remain vigilant as the area and most of the state, is still under Red Flag warnings.

The act bans most abortions at six weeks when there’s detectable cardiac activity. The group of abortion access advocates say it’s unconstitutional.
