Theocracy of Wyoming bans abortion medication

[Ferguson97]

Lmao. Was America prior to 1973 a “theocracy”? Why does discussion on this forum, of all places, have to be so filled with hyperbole and raw ideology?

Is your argument that if the American government reinstated slavery in 2023, that it would be ridiculous to call that authoritarian, because then we'd have to call the American government pre-1865 authoritarian?

Especially dumb because Wyoming isn't even all that religious, especially for somewhere so politically conservative. The Equality State is just doing this to chest-pound and trigger the libs.

It's not too religious but I'd also imagine abortions aren't common in Wyoming just because it's a small state with lots of geographic isolation. In any event, abortion pills will be attainable through the black market the same way marijuana is. I don't think this law will affect many people in the end.

Still, Wyoming was a far better state politically in the 1800s. It's a shame they've forgotten their roots.

Wyoming passed a strict anti-abortion law the same year they joined the Union ftr.

Where did you hear this? Wiki said there was a law passed in the 1950's that criminalized intent and procurement of abortion, but it was never really enforced. (T'was one of the beauties of early Wyoming and the pre-Industrialized West -- you could do pretty much whatever you wanted without having to get Uncle Sam's and/or rich people's consent.)
