A two-pill combination of mifepristone and another drug is the most common form of abortion in the U.S. In a statement, Gordon expressed concern that the latter law, dubbed the Life is a Human Right Act would result in a lawsuit that will "delay any resolution to the constitutionality of the abortion ban in Wyoming."
In a statement, Wyoming ACLU advocacy director Antonio Serrano criticized Gordon's decision to sign the ban on abortion pills, which are already prohibited in a number of states that have total bans on all types of abortion.
