Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has signed into law the US’s first explicit ban on abortion pills since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer.

Mr Gordon, a Republican, signed the Bill on Friday night while allowing a separate measure restricting abortion to become law without his signature.
