“Governor Mark Gordon took further steps to implement a pro-life political agenda when he signed a ban on chemical abortions today. At the same time, he authorized Bill 152 – Life is a human rights law to come into effect,” Gordon’s office said. said in a statement Friday evening. The governor expressed concern that the legal battle over abortion rights in Wyoming could further complicate matters, particularly regarding the near total ban on abortion (Life is a Human Rights Act), which Gordon has authorized to become law without his signature and which takes effect on Sunday. This second legislation bans abortion in Wyoming under most circumstances, with penalties of up to five years in prison and a $20,000 fine. If no legal action delays the ban on abortion pills in Wyoming, it is expected to go into effect July 1, making it illegal to prescribe, distribute, sell, or use any drug for the purpose of obtaining or to perform an abortion. Violators could face a $9,000 fine or up to six months in jail, but pregnant women would be exempt from charges and penalties. Last June, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision overturning Roe v. Wade and returning the right to regulate abortions to state governments. A number of states enacted restrictions on abortions as a result of this ruling. Republican lawmakers in Congress have since pushed for federal restrictions on the procedure, while Democrats have argued for federal protections. US President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address that he would veto a national abortion ban if Congress passes such legislation.
