Judge temporarily blocks Wyoming abortion ban

• The new law that took effect Sunday makes abortions a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and states that "abortion defined in this act is not health care."
• Abortion rights groups argue that this violates Wyoming's constitution, which says adults have the right to make their own health care decisions.

What they're saying: "The state cannot legislate away a constitutional right," Owens said, per AP.

• "It’s not clear whether abortion is health care. The court has to then decide that," she added.

What's next: "Now, the medication abortion ban and the overall ban will be considered at a hearing where the plaintiffs will seek an injunction to suspend both laws until the full lawsuit can be heard," the New York Times reports.

• Wyoming would be the first U.S. state to ban abortion pills if the law were to go into effect on July 1.
