A judge has struck down Wyoming's overall ban on abortion and its first-in-the nation explicit prohibition on the use of medication to end pregnancy.

Wyoming judge Melissa Owens blocked the state's abortion bans for violating the state constitution and the "right to make own health care decisions."

A Wyoming judge ruled Monday that two laws restricting and banning abortion in the state violate its constitution, making the procedure legal up until fetal viability for the time being.
