Wyoming Governor Signs Bill Banning Abortion Pills

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed a bill banning medication abortions into law, making it the first state to target the abortion pill. A second bill he will allow to go into law without his signature will ban most abortions. The new law makes it a misdemeanor to dispense, distribute, sell, prescribe or use abortion medications punishable by up to six months in prison and a fine of up to $9,000. The ban would allow abortions in cases of rape and incest and to save a woman's life or prevent harm to her health. The new law makes violating the ban a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $20,000.
