Wyoming Governor Signs Bill Banning Abortion Pills

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed a bill prohibiting abortion pills in the state, while allowing a separate measure restricting abortion to become law without his signature. The ban on abortion pills would take effect in July, pending any legal action that could potentially delay it. The implementation date of the sweeping legislation banning all abortions that Gordon allowed to go into law is not specified in the bill. The issue of access to abortion pills took center stage this week in a Texas court, where a federal judge raised questions about a Christian group's effort to overturn the decades-old U.S. approval of a leading abortion drug, mifepristone.
