A measure to place a pro-life constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall in Wyoming fell short by a single vote of the 2/3rds threshold of votes required during a budget session. The final Senate tally was 20-11, with nine Republicans and the state’s only two Democrat senators casting nay votes.
Senate Joint Resolution 7 was sponsored by Riverton Republican Sen. Tim Salazar, who said, “This is one of the most important issues of our day.” He added, “I and many others simply seek a dialogue.”
