Federal Court Blocks Wyoming's Abortion Pill Ban.

A judge has temporarily blocked Wyoming's first-in-the-nation law to ban abortion pills, ruling that the state failed to show that allowing the ban to take effect on schedule wouldn't harm the lawsuit's plaintiffs before their case is resolved. Two nonprofit organizations and four women, including two obstetricians, have sued to challenge the law. The plaintiffs are also suing to stop a near-total ban on abortion enacted in Wyoming in March. Wyoming officials have promised to vigorously defend the legality of the new laws.
