Wyoming Becomes First State to Ban Abortion Pills

Axios

Wyoming became the first state to ban abortion pills this week after Gov. Mark Gordon (R) signed the controversial bill into law on Friday.

The demand for abortion pills has surged since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The new law also comes as the nation awaits a ruling from a federal judge in Texas who could suspend the FDA’s approval of a widely-used abortion pill.

Medication abortion accounted for more than half of all U.S. abortions in 2020, according to the reproductive policy nonprofit Guttmacher Institute.

Abortion pills are frequently prescribed via telehealth and mailed to patients, allowing abortion seekers to circumvent state restrictions on the procedure.
