Organizers of a planned new women's health clinic that would offer abortions in Wyoming vow to press ahead with their plans despite a suspected arson attack, protests, harassing messages and the chance that abortion could soon become illegal in the state and several others
Riata Little Walker and her husband, Ian Walker, holding a heart-shaped container with their aborted daughter's ashes, are seen with their toddler son Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at their home in Casper, Wyo. Riata Little Walker is a supporter of a planned new women's health clinic in Casper that would provide abortions. It would be the only clinic of its kind in the state. CASPER, Wyo.
In March, Gov. Mark Gordon, a Republican, signed a bill that put Wyoming among the states that would outlaw abortion should the Supreme Court overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal nationwide. The only exceptions would be in the event of rape or incest, to save the mother’s life or to save the mother from severe, non-mental health problems.
Her opinion is probably not the majority view in Casper, a working-class city of 58,000 people that is Wyoming's second-biggest after the capital, Cheyenne. No one was injured in the blaze, which left the stucco house being renovated for the clinic with broken windows and smoke damage. Authorities are investigating whether the fire is linked to a person seen running away from the building carrying what appeared to be a gas can and a bag.
She declined to be identified, citing concerns for her safety and employment prospects that were shared by her daughter, a Casper woman who went to Colorado to get the drugs required for her own abortion 20 years later, at age 21.
