Wyoming’s Republican Governor Mark Gordon rejected a bill<\/a> last week that would have required<\/a> abortion facilities to meet the same facility regulations as ambulatory surgical centers while also mandating that women receive an ultrasound before an abortion.<\/p>\n

In his veto, Gordon, who has previously supported abortion restrictions, stated that he believes the legislation would only get tied up in the court system and further detract from a current case<\/a> regarding a more expansive law that would protect nearly all preborn children in the state from abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain in purgatory,\u201d Gordon said<\/a>. \u201cI am vetoing this bill in an effort to keep our current court case on track for a speedy resolution on the issue of the constitutionality of the Life is Human Right Act and the Prohibition of Chemical Abortions law.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Gordon also said he was vetoing the bill because of the amendment which mandated an ultrasound prior to abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am disappointed that the original bill proposed by Representative [Martha] Lawley, which would have provided an appropriate fix to regulate surgical abortion clinics, was amended and arguably subsequently burdened with considerations that misaligned it with laws Wyoming is currently defending before the courts,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Lawley responded<\/a> to Gordon’s veto with dismay.<\/p>\n

READ: Planned Parenthood deceives woman considering abortion, breaks informed consent law<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill passed with overwhelming support in both the House and Senate,\u201d she wrote in a statement. \u201cI find Governor Gordon\u2019s reasons for vetoing this bill completely unpersuasive. Furthermore, as I read the many letters coming from the Governor, I have a growing concern about Executive branch overreach into both the Legislative and Judicial branches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Had Gordon signed the bill, the state’s only surgical abortion facility would have likely been forced to close<\/a>, at least temporarily. Now, the facility remains open, a development the ACLU of Wyoming described<\/a> as “thrilling.”<\/p>\n

“[T]his unnecessary bill was an attempt to use government regulation to shut down clinics and strip Wyomingites of abortion access,” the group said.<\/p>\n

The Wyoming Freedom Caucus has called<\/a> for a special legislative session in the hopes of overriding Gordon’s veto.<\/p>\n

The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children. Please take 30-seconds to TELL CONGRESS: STOP THE DOJ FROM TARGETING PRO-LIFE AMERICANS.<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
