The ban comes as a Texas judge considers revoking nationwide approval of a common abortion pill.
Wyoming has become the first US state to ban abortion pills after its governor signed a bill that made prescribing or selling them illegal.Women "upon whom a chemical abortion is performed or attempted" will not be prosecuted.
Wyoming American Civil Liberties Union advocacy director Antonio Serrano criticised the bill, saying "a person's health, not politics, should guide important medical decisions - including the decision to have an abortion". More than a dozen states have enacted near-total bans on abortions, several of which have been put on hold by the courts.
