Wyoming has become the first state to ban the use of abortion pills. The law goes into effect in July, making it a felony to prescribe, sell and use abortion medication — the most popular method to terminate a pregnancy. People found in violation would face up to six months in prison and a fine. Meanwhile, Republican Governor Mark Gordon allowed another sweeping anti-abortion measure to become law without his signature. The so-called Life Is a Human Right Act went into effect Sunday and prohibits abortion under most circumstances, punishable with up to five years in prison.
