Summary

Wyoming Republicans introduced a bill redefining healthcare to exclude abortion, but legal experts warn its vague language could limit life-saving treatments like chemotherapy and heart surgery.

The bill bars procedures that “cause harm” unless deemed necessary, raising concerns among medical and legal professionals.

Critics argue it violates Wyoming’s constitutional right to healthcare and shifts medical decision-making from doctors to politicians.

While lawmakers acknowledge flaws in the bill, they intend to refine it. Experts fear other states may adopt similar legislation to restrict abortion access.
