Fetal heartbeat abortion ban signed into law by Wyoming governor

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed a law prohibiting abortions after embryonic cardiac activity is detected, typically around six weeks of pregnancy, making Wyoming the fifth state to implement such a ban. Gordon expressed concerns over the lack of exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, while the law does allow for exceptions when a woman’s life or health is at imminent risk. The state’s sole abortion clinic plans to challenge the law, arguing it undermines constitutional rights and endangers public health.
