TL;DR Summary

A judge in Wyoming has temporarily blocked a new abortion ban that took effect on Sunday, which prohibits abortion at all stages of pregnancy except in cases of rape or incest that's reported to police, or to save a woman's life. The ban was challenged in court by two nonprofits, two doctors, and two other women who argued that it harms pregnant women and their doctors and violates the state constitution. The judge suspended the ban for at least two weeks, citing the need for the courts, not lawmakers, to decide whether abortion is health care.
