Wyoming’s Republican Governor Mark Gordon has signed into law a bill outlawing the use of abortion pills, after it was approved by state legislators earlier this month.
Those who “prescribe, dispense, distribute, sell or use any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion” will face up to six months in prison and a fine of up to $9,000 (£7,300).
However, the law adds that women “upon whom a chemical abortion is performed or attempted shall not be criminally prosecuted”.
