2024 WY Senate race: on Abortion


Reid Rasner: Protecting life is paramount; life begins at conception

Protecting life is paramount! I firmly stand by the belief that life begins at conception. As a compassionate advocate for the sanctity of life, I support the idea that every single human being, right from the moment of conception, deserves the right to life, love, and protection. Embracing this perspective is essential for fostering a society that cherishes and safeguards the most vulnerable among us.

Scott Morrow: Denying a woman's right to prevent pregnancy is outrageous

The Wyoming Democratic Party is calling out Wyoming's two U.S. senators for helping block a bill that would have guaranteed a right to contraceptives, but also would have cancelled out a section of law affirming religious freedom. The Right to Contraception Act required 60 votes last week to advance in the U.S. Senate but failed by a tally of 51-39.

"It is unconscionable that Senator Barrasso voted against codifying a woman's right to birth control," reads Morrow's statement, which also condemns Barrasso's support of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 ruling to overturn Roe vs. Wade, a case that had enacted a federal right to abortion. "Denying a woman's right to prevent pregnancy is outrageous, especially in the U.S. where the maternal mortality rate far exceeds that of other high-income nations," says Morrow's statement.

Scott Morrow: Big Brother should not get between women and doctors

We must assure at the federal level that every American has the protections enumerated in article one, section 38 of the Wyoming Constitution.

Big Brother should not be allowed to get between women and their doctors. Codify Roe v Wade.

Cynthia Lummis: IVF is OK, if not mandated and not too costly

Some wondered if Trump was serious about his call for government-mandated coverage of IVF, or whether he simply said it to mute Democratic attacks that a Trump victory would threaten access to IVF.

"I take it as just Trump's way of saying he supports IVF," said Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., who emphasized that she also supports legal IVF, which is backed by 86% of Americans, according to a CBS News poll taken in March, when the Alabama court issued its ruling that threatened to end IVF.

"I don't know that we need to go so far as to mandate IVF coverage," Lummis said. "It just drives up the price of insurance. And so I don't know that I agree with him that it should be mandated."

Still, Lummis and all but two Senate Republicans voted to block a Democratic bill to protect access to IVF earlier this year, saying the proposal was too broad.
