AN ACT relating to abortion; limiting the circumstances under which an abortion may be performed; limiting the use of appropriated funds; providing a delayed effective date pending certification by the attorney general of actions of the United States supreme court; requiring reports; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill, if enacted, would limit the circumstances under which an abortion can be performed in Wyoming. It would prohibit abortions after fetal viability, except when necessary to preserve the woman's life or health. The bill also includes a provision that would fully prohibit abortions, except in cases of incest, sexual assault, or to preserve the woman's life or prevent substantial and irreversible physical impairment, which would take effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade or issues a decision authorizing such a law. The bill would also prohibit the use of state funds for abortions, with similar exceptions. The effective date of the bill's key provisions would be contingent on the attorney general's certification of the Supreme Court's actions.
