Wyoming's only full-service clinic stops providing abortions after new regulations signed

Wyoming’s only full-service abortion clinic has stopped providing abortions, but it remains open after the state's governor signed a law requiring such facilities be licensed as surgical centers. Wellspring Health Access President Julie Burkhart says the Casper clinic remains staffed and continues to take phone calls from patients while challenging the new law with a lawsuit filed Friday. Meantime, it is providing neither surgical nor medication abortions. Gordon spokesman Michael Pearlman says the governor has no comment while the law is being litigated. Abortion in Wyoming remains legal pending a court case challenging bans the state has passed since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
