Wyoming Supreme Court struck down the state's abortion ban 4-1

A red state sent a strong message to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his conservative colleagues in a recent ruling.

The Wyoming Supreme Court struck down the state's abortion ban 4-1 last week, finding that legislators had perhaps inadvertently enshrined abortion access as part of their 2012 backlash to the ACA, and Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern argued that red state's court had rebuked the U.S. Supreme Court on the issue.

How so?  This is exactly what the Supreme Court said should happen.

Lithwick argued that their decision stood in sharp contrast to Alito's reasoning in the Dobbs case striking down Roe v. Wade.

"This is a rebuke to Justice Samuel Alito and his completely inane analysis about the complexity of pregnancy," Lithwick wrote. "But it’s also a rebuke to state lawmakers who think they understand how medicine works, and to the entire pro-life industrial complex, which keeps treating pregnancy as though it’s a simple, check-the-box enterprise. This is an opinion that deeply honors the fact that pregnancies are complicated. They are fraught. They are a big deal. It sweeps in questions of rape and abuse and power differentials and reporting and how the criminal justice system works. It sweeps in granular questions about when life begins and whose life matters."

"This is not the kind of thing that Alito can just imagine away, because he likes the idea of fetuses above all," Lithwick added.

"What you’re describing is a court that is really sensitive to the principle that Alito missed completely in Dobbs, which is that when the government tries to regulate pregnancy and abortion in simpleminded cartoonish ways, women are oppressed and tortured. But then there’s the other piece of this that I want you to just amplify, which is that this is a court doing actual, principled, Scalian textual analysis. I’ve almost forgotten what that looks like, because you sure as hell don’t see it at the Supreme Court."

Following the ruling, Governor of Wyoming Mark Gordon called for a referendum to amend the constitution and invalidate the ruling.

“This ruling may settle, for now, a legal question, but it does not settle the moral one, nor does it reflect where many Wyoming citizens stand, including myself. It is time for this issue to go before the people for a vote,” Gordon wrote in a statement published on social media. “I call on the legislature to pass and place a clear constitutional amendment on my desk.”
