WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday moved to limit the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate pollution in American wetlands, finding that the Clean Water Act gives the government less autonomy to control runoff into certain waterways.

The lawsuit against Wyoming’s criminal abortion ban is headed to the state Supreme Court, a judge ruled Wednesday, finding that questions concerning the constitutionality of a 2022 law banning most abortions in Wyoming had no existing legal precedent.

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.

A coalition of Wyoming abortion providers, state residents and a prominent abortion fund filed a lawsuit on Monday seeking to halt enforcement of the state’s near-total abortion ban, set to take effect Wednesday.

WASHINGTON — In a highly-anticipated and controversial ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court Friday eliminated the constitutional right to abortion care, overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision which enshrined that right nearly half a century ago.
