Wyoming Governor Takes Stance on Abortion and Transgender Medical Care
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon vetoed new abortion regulations that would have made it more difficult to operate clinics and required mandatory ultrasounds before the procedure, citing concerns about lawsuits tying up courts and stalling resolution. The bill, which passed with wide margins, faced criticism from the far right, and its sponsor expressed disappointment in the governor's decision. This is the third year in a row that Wyoming lawmakers have passed legislation targeting abortion, with ongoing legal battles over the constitutionality of abortion bans in the state.
