Wyoming Governor Signs Bill Restricting Abortion Once Fetal Heartbeat Is Detected

Hol

Well-known
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) signed a bill into law on Monday restricting the abortion of unborn babies once a fetal heartbeat is detected.

The bill, called the Human Heartbeat Act or HB 126, outlaws abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is usually around six weeks of pregnancy. The bill contains exceptions after that point in cases of serious medical emergencies or to protect the life of the mother.

A person who performs an abortion in violation of the law could be charged with a felony and face up to five years behind bars and/or a $10,000 fine, according to the bill’s text.
