Johnson v. Wyoming
Plaintiffs claim that the pre-Roe abortion ban violates the state constitution’s fundamental right to be left alone by government as guaranteed by rights to equality, due process, uniform operation of the laws, family composition, privacy and bodily integrity, conscience, and access to health care (Art. 1 §§ 2, 3, 6, 7, 18, 33, 34, 36, 38). A trial court preliminarily blocked the ban. The Wyoming Supreme Court declined to weigh in on the case’s central questions at this stage of the litigation.
