Abortion Soon Will be Banned in Wyoming; Half the States are Expected to Follow

The ACLU of Wyoming opposed House Bill 92, legislation that will ban abortion entirely in Wyoming if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

House Bill 92 mimics other so-called “trigger bans” across the country that would take effect automatically under specific circumstances. But House Bill 92 improperly delegates legislative power to the executive branch.

HB 92 requires Wyoming’s attorney general to determine if and when the United States Supreme Court has overruled Roe, and requires the attorney general to determine if and when a law goes into effect.

Everyone deserves the freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies and their futures — including the decision to have an abortion.
