In 1994, Honaker represented a political action committee that sought to get the anti-abortion measure on the ballot as a statewide initiative. The case was reported as ''Wyoming NARAL v. Karpan''. Honaker was not involved in drafting the initiative because he maintained that the ''Casey'' decision had rendered the measure moot. "My client, the PAC, thought otherwise and paid me to represent their views. . . . I won the case, and then the voters of Wyoming voted down the initiative" by a 61-39 percent margin," Honaker explained.<ref name=honaker/>​

At the time, Honaker said: "Unborn children are human beings, and abortion is the taking of the life of an unborn child who is a member of the human race," a statement which alarmed pro-choice advocates.​ Honaker has, however, procured support from some abortion supporters for the judicial seat, such as Robert Shively, a Casper lawyer who formerly represented Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains,<ref>Letter from Robert Shively to U.
