The clinic, which was also planned to provide other health care services for women, had been set to open in June as only the second place in Wyoming to offer abortions

An abortion clinic set to open next month in conservative Wyoming was damaged in an overnight Wednesday fire that police believe was deliberately set – possibly by someone seen running away from the building carrying what appeared to be a gas can and a black bag.

The clinic, which also planned to provide other health care services for women, had been set to open in June as only the second place in the state to offer abortions. Wyoming’s current lone location for women to get abortions is at a hospital in Jackson, 281 miles away. Julie Burkhart, the clinic’s director, said clinic organizers had been receiving harassing emails and telephone messages. The building had video cameras that were functioning and police were given access to them, she said.

Wyoming is one of 13 U.S. states that would outlaw abortion if the Roe v Wade decision that legalized it nationwide is overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. A leaked draft of a ruling suggests that will happen soon.
