Wyoming Abortion Statistics

State abortion statistics from the leading public and private sources.

>

Collective state abortion statistics are gathered privately by the Guttmacher Institute and federally by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Because of reporting lag, their most recent data is often 2-3 years old. In most cases, state-level abortion facts are more current than the numbers reported by Guttmacher or the CDC. Guttmacher’s abortion statistics are estimates built on surveys of all known and suspected abortion providers; the CDC totals are made up of the actual abortion counts reported to the state health department by each abortion facility.

LEGAL STATUS OF ABORTION IN Wyoming

In 2022—following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, elective abortion became illegal in Wyoming. An abortion shall only be permitted if it is deemed necessary to preserve the life of the mother, to prevent serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function, or if the conception occurred because of rape or incest. The threat of suicide does not constitute a legal justification for abortion.
