A Wyoming judge has once again found a reason to block the state’s lifesaving laws.

Teton County District Judge Melissa Owens said the state constitution prohibits two laws in Wyoming, the Life Act and Medication Abortion Ban.

Judge Owens read a “right” for a woman to kill her preborn baby into a state constitutional amendment clause about healthcare and insurance freedom.

In her ruling, she ignored the established scientific fact that life begins at the moment of conception. Owens wrote that the two pro-life laws “elevate the rights of all potential life, even at the earliest stages of development, over the fundamental rights of pregnant women during the entire duration of their pregnancy.”

Under Owens’ logic, a six-week-old baby in the womb is only “potential life.” But at six weeks, a preborn baby has begun developing a heart and other organs, according to the Mayo Clinic. Furthermore, from the moment of conception, she has unique DNA, which makes her a different person from her mother.

Owens also criticized the law for prohibiting “multi-fetal reduction procedures,” a euphemism that refers to aborting some of the babies in the womb when a woman is pregnant with more than one child at the same time.

Owens further ruled that prohibiting chemical abortion drugs “degrades the quality of prenatal care.”

She has previously struck down other pro-life laws, according to NBC News.

Republican Gov. Mark Gordon promised an appeal.

“Judge Owen’s ruling is frustrating, still this is just one of the steps in the judicial process,” the governor stated, as reported by WyoFile. “Regardless of her decision, it was clear there would be an appeal. I remain committed to defending the constitutionality of this law and the sanctity of life.”

The judge’s ruling rests on the false premise that abortion is healthcare. However, healthcare is ordered either to healing someone or at least reducing his pain. But direct abortion is never medically necessary, as OB/GYNS and other medical experts have confirmed.

Furthermore, abortion drugs are not needed for “prenatal care,” as Owens said. Her ruling suffers from circular logic: In her mind, abortion is healthcare, therefore drugs that induce an abortion are part of “prenatal care.”

However, healthcare can never be ordered toward ending human life. The Wyoming Supreme Court should reverse Owens’ ruling and protect life.
