A judge has struck down Wyoming's overall ban on abortion and its first-in-the nation explicit prohibition on the use of medication to end pregnancy.

A Wyoming judge ruled Monday that two laws restricting and banning abortion in the state violate its constitution, making the procedure legal up until fetal viability for the time being.

The abortion bans "undermine the integrity of the medical profession by hamstringing the ability of physicians to provide evidence-based medicine to their patients," a district judge ruled.
