"Wyoming’s only abortion clinic is resuming abortions after a judge on Monday suspended two state laws.

One suspended law would require clinics providing surgical abortions to be licensed as outpatient surgical centers. The other would require women to get an ultrasound before a medication abortion."

Red state resistance: 100 lawyers in #Wyoming put their names to a statement condemning #Trump 's refusal to obey court orders. They called on elected officials to enforce the rule of law.

Traitorous #GOP Congress critters are attacking these lawyers as "liberal."

"The more than 100 Wyoming jurists... included three former state Supreme Court justices, an ex-governor, two former state attorneys general..."

But apparently these are far left activists.

InstagramWyoFile on Instagram: "Amid mounting concerns about White House disregard of court orders, Wyoming's congressional delegates made clear last week that they continue to support President Donald Trump's defiance of the federal judiciary. And they are willing to insult their own constituents in defense of that position. Rep. Harriet Hageman and Sens. Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso publicly derided a distinguished swath of the Wyoming Bar rather than address concerns those constituents raised in a March 26 letter warning that Trump and his allies' threats could erode the country's rule of law. Wyoming's federal delegation lashed out at the letter's signees the same week federal judges warned that the Trump administration was striking at the core of the constitutional system that protects Americans from an unruly or oppressive government. The more than 100 Wyoming jurists who put their name on the letter asking the delegation to protect the rule of law included three former state Supreme Court justices, an ex-governor, two former state attorneys general appointed by governors from both political parties, veteran attorneys and young Wyoming lawyers making their start in the profession. Though their leanings covered the political spectrum, they shared one thing in common: Mounting concern that the rule of law is under extreme duress. In response, Lummis, Hageman and Barrasso described the signatories as "biased, misguided" and "liberal," in a press release issued last week. The delegation's response came in two phases — the first was an April 11 letter rebuffing the Wyoming jurists' concerns. That letter ended with an olive branch. "We look forward to working with each of you to secure a prosperous future for Wyoming and to ensure a return to the non-partisan rule of law," the delegates wrote. On April 15, however, after WyoFile reporting made their letter public, the delegation dropped any niceties and issued a press release headlined: "Wyoming Delegation Responds to Biased, Misguided WY Judges and Lawyers." 🔗 Link to full story in bio. 📷 Photo credit: Tennessee Watson/WyoFile"77 likes, 11 comments - wyofile on April 22, 2025: "Amid mounting concerns about White House disregard of court orders, Wyoming's congressional delegates made clear last week that they continue to support President Donald Trump's defiance of the federal judiciary.

I think I'd have gone with the Spanish leather option, myself. 😱

"...Osborne then skinned Parrott's body and had a pair of shoes and medical bag made out of the human skin. The bag has never been found. Years later Osborne entered politics and was elected governor of Wyoming. To his 1893 inauguration he wore the shoes that a dozen years earlier had been a man."

Osborne was a medical doctor no less.
