The future of abortion access in Wyoming

The fight for reproductive freedom in the Equality State is far from over. Join us for what lies ahead.

We’ve all probably seen the news.

But just in case you missed it, a draft opinion recently leaked by Politico, suggests the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade and our constitutional right to an abortion.

While this news is alarming, it is important to remember that this opinion is still just a draft. Abortion remains legal across the nation – and it remains legal here in Wyoming.

Still, this leak confirms our deepest fears that the Supreme Court is ready to take away our ability to control if, when, and how to have a child. And it is deeply painful to all of us who believe that the right to control our own bodies and to make such deeply personal decisions is ours, not the government’s.

If Roe is overturned, abortion will be banned in Wyoming, thanks to a trigger law Gov. Mark Gordon signed earlier this year. That means people would have to travel out of state to get essential care – something that’s impossible for many and would disproportionately affect people of color and people with lower incomes.

The ACLU of Wyoming will never stop fighting for a person’s right to an abortion, but we need your help more than ever.
