The Wyoming Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to weigh in on questions about the constitutionality of Wyoming’s criminal abortion ban, sending the matter back to a lower court judge who had temporarily blocked the law from going into effect.

On the day it was set to go into effect, Wyoming’s near-total abortion ban was temporarily blocked by a state judge siding with a coalition of abortion providers and state residents, who argued in a lawsuit filed Monday that the ban violates Wyoming’s constitution.
