Here’s a roundup of recent pro-life and abortion-related news:
Colorado will pay out $5.4 million after attempting to ban abortion pill reversal
The state of Colorado will have to pay out a massive $5.4 million sum after it lost in its attempt to ban abortion pill reversal.
The state suffered a decisive loss in federal court in August 2025 when U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico said that Colorado’s abortion pill reversal ban interfered with the religious rights of nurses Dede Chism and Abby Sinnett.
The Catholic mother-daughter team runs the Denver-area Bella Health and Wellness clinic. Part of their services include administering the hormone progesterone that can counteract the effects of chemical abortions.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represented the two nurses in their suit, said on Jan. 6 that federal law now requires the state to pay attorneys’ fees and court costs, totaling about $5.4 million.
Attorney Rebekah Ricketts said at least 18 mothers have given birth during the course of the lawsuit after receiving abortion pill reversal care at Bella Health.
Abortion pill advocate countersues South Dakota over false advertising threat
A pro-abortion pill company is suing the South Dakota attorney general after the prosecutor threatened to sue the organization over abortion advertising.
State Attorney General Marty Jackley sent a cease and desist letter in December 2025 to Mayday Health alleging the company was instructing women to not seek medical care after taking abortion pills while also implying that the pills were legal in South Dakota. Abortion pills are illegal in that state with limited exceptions.
In an Instagram post on Jan. 8, the pro-abortion company announced that it had sued Jackley in turn, alleging that Jackley was engaging in “government censorship, plain and simple.”
The group claimed its pro-abortion pill speech is protected by the First Amendment. Mayday vowed to “continue [its] mission” in advocating for abortion pills.
Wyoming Supreme Court strikes down state abortion ban
Abortions will continue in the state of Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down a ban on the practice there.
In a Jan. 6 decision, the court ruled 4-1 that the state’s ban on abortion did not constitute “reasonable and necessary restrictions on a pregnant woman’s right to make her own health care decisions.”
“A woman has a fundamental right to make her own health care decisions, including the decision to have an abortion,” the court said.
In a dissent, Justice Kari Jo Gray said the state government’s ban on abortion “falls well within the discretion the people expressly granted it.”
The ban allowed the procedure in cases necessary to save the mother’s life, among other extreme circumstances, Gray noted.
“These exceptions respect a pregnant woman’s health care choices while allowing the regulation of nonessential procedures,” she argued.
