State bans abortion pills

Wyoming has become the first state in the nation to pass a law banning abortion pills.

Selling or administering the medications for a chemical abortion will be a misdemeanor under Wyoming law once the bill goes into effect on July 1.

The “Life is a Human Right Act” has also become law, proclaiming that unborn babies have the same rights as all individuals from the moment of conception.

However, Governor Mark Gordon declined to sign this second bill, expressing concern that it will cause further delays in the court decision over Wyoming’s current abortion ban.
