Wyoming’s governor on March 9 signed a law banning most abortions in the state, but said that the law is flawed.

Gov. Mark Gordon, a Republican, said in a signing message to Wyoming House Speaker Chip Neiman that the Human Heartbeat Act “very likely puts us back in the all too familiar and unfortunate territory of pro-life litigation.”
