Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has signed a bill prohibiting abortion pills while allowing a separate measure that restricts abortion to become law without his signature.

Gordon signed the bill into law on Friday, prohibiting chemical abortions in Wyoming, which became the first state in the country to prohibit the abortion pill outside of a full ban on the procedure.
