Meanwhile in Wyoming…

Wyoming, the land that Blam-Blam and his daughter used to represent, where men are men and sheep wear garters,  has taken the bold step to be the first state in the country to explicitly ban abortion pills:

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming has pushed to the front of state efforts to prohibit the most common type of abortion by instituting the nation’s first explicit ban on pills that terminate pregnancies.

Medication abortions, which usually involve taking two prescription medications days apart at home or in a clinic, became the preferred method for ending pregnancy in the U.S. even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade – and now account for more than half of all abortions according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.

More than a dozen states now effectively ban abortion pills by prohibiting all forms of abortion, moves made after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its landmark Roe v. Wade ruling last year.

Fifteen states restrict access to the pills. Of those, six — Arizona, Indiana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota and South Carolina — require a doctor to administer them in person. Arizona also bans mailing abortion pills.

Y’all Qaeda really wants you to birth that baby even if it kills you. Of course, there’s all kinds of problems here (interstate commerce, banning FDA-approved medicine, US Postal Service) that probably will tie this up in legal challenges for years, but that is not a lot of comfort for people being forced to carry to term an unviable fetus or a deadly and septic pregnancy.

I wonder how many (if any) of these male White Christian Nationalists ever had any biology classes (let alone Sex Ed). A lot of women are going to die, probably including their own family members. Not all of ‘em are wealthy enough to go to Atlanta for “a weekend shopping trip.”
