On March 3, the Wyoming legislature gave final passage to two bills outlawing most abortions. HB 152 (full text) outlaws medical and surgical abortions with several exceptions. Exceptions include ectopic pregnancy, treatment of the woman for cancer or another disease where the medical treatment may be fatal to the unborn baby, preventing the death or substantial risk of death of the mother, and incest or sexual assault (which are to be reported to law enforcement). SF 109 (full text) prohibits prescribing or distributing any abortion drug, with exceptions for imminent physical peril that endangers the woman's life or health, and for rape or sexual assault. WyoFile reports that Governor Mark Gordon is still deciding whether or not to veto either or both bills.
UPDATE: Gov. Gordon signed SF 109 and allowed HB 152 to become law without his signature.
