"The #abortion ban in #Wyoming has been BLOCKED by a judge, due to a 2012 amendment to the state constitution that was meant to spite the Affordable Care Act, aka #Obamacare.

The Wyoming GOP wrote into their state Constitution that 'each competent adult shall have the right to make his or her own #healthcare decisions.'

So ironically, #Republican attempts to make life harder for people have once again been thwarted by their own attempt to make life harder for people."

🇺🇸 Um Obamas Gesundheitsreform zu blockieren, schrieben die Republikaner in #Wyoming 2012 den Satz in die Verfassung, dass jede:r Erwachsene über die eigene Gesundheitsvorsorgung bestimmen dürfe.

#GuteNachrichten-mäßiger Weise können sie deswegen nun Abtreibung nicht verbieten.

Woman who torched #Wyoming #abortion clinic busted by feds

Lorna Green, 22, was formally charged with arson of a facility engaged in interstate commerce.

She was booked into Natrona County Detention Center on Tuesday afternoon. She was arrested the same day, said the Casper Star Tribune report.

Green spoke with authorities on Tuesday after they searched her family home in Casper. She told investigators that she was in fact the suspect from the videos and photos.

#Abortion is legal again in #Wyoming after a Teton County judge Wednesday temporarily blocked a new ban on the procedure while a new legal challenge winds through the courts.

“Wyomingites voted into law that they have a fundamental right to make their own health care decisions, and by doing so, they also agreed that the state can put necessary and reasonable restrictions on that, as long as there’s no undue government infringement upon those rights,” Teton County Judge Melissa Owens said.

“(Judge) Owens said the court needs to further inquire if abortion is health care and whether it can be established that the new law is a reasonable and necessary restriction that has not placed undue #government infringement on citizens…

‘The state cannot legislate away a constitutional right. It’s not clear if #abortion is or isn’t #healthcare. The court has to then decide that,’ she concluded.”

Wyoming was the very first US state to pass the woman suffrage law on December 10, 1869, and Wyoming women voted for the first time in 1870.

On Friday, Wyoming's governor, a man, signed a law banning women from accessing Misoprostol, a reproductive control medication, effectively stripping women of another form of autonomy over their bodies.

How American women are keeping it together these days I really don't know.

#Wyoming governor signs law outlawing use of #abortion pills

Wyoming Governor #MarkGordon on Friday signed into law a bill outlawing the use or prescription of medication #AbortionPills that was passed by the state's Republican-controlled legislature earlier this month.

Gordon, a Republican, signed the law as a federal judge in Texas considers ordering a nationwide ban on the abortion pill mifepristone in response to a lawsuit by anti-abortion groups.

"When they’re permitted, wind farms are allowed a certain number of eagle 'takes,' as they’re called. That means how many eagles the spinning blades are allowed to kill every year. When the farm exceeds its takes, the company gets fined."

Biologists say #Wyoming wind farms are killing 28% of local eagle populations---probably more.

https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/02/19/number-of-eagles-killed-by-wind-farms-in-wyoming-severely-underestimated-biologist-says/

When they’re permitted, wind farms are allowed a certain number of eagle “takes,” as they’re called. That means how many eagles the spinning blades are allowed to kill every year. When the farm exceeds its takes, the company gets fined.  

Wind farms in Wyoming have faced high-profile fines for killing eagles. In April, NextEra Energy pleaded guilty to violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and was ordered to pay more than $8 million. Duke Energy, which operates a few wind farms in Wyoming, was fined $1 million in 2014 for the deaths of 14 golden eagles; and PacifiCorp received $2.5 million in fines for 38 eagles killed by its turbines. 

 In his comments, Kilty calculated the impact to eagle populations of all the projects in the area of the Two Rivers Wind Project. The total bald eagles legally killed annually by wind farms would be 28.2% of the population in the area. 

“What sort of population of any type could withstand such mortality?” Kilty asked the BLM.  

Lockhart told Cowboy State Daily the mortality is likely higher.

The only thing the 11 remaining #ACA #Medicaid-expansion holdout states are doing by still holding out is denying 2.2 million poor people health insurance and their states its share of federal ACA money out of ideological spite, even though they are already paying federal taxes for it. There is no credible public policy justification at this point for these 11 states not signing up for the ACA money and saving their rural hospitals.
