A Wyoming judge on Monday struck down the state’s abortion law as well as a prohibition against abortion pills after finding the two laws violate women’s rights under the state constitution and therefore can not be enforced.

Monday’s ruling marks the third time since 2022 that Teton County District Judge Melissa Owens has blocked the laws from going into effect while they are being challenged in court.
