Judge suspends Michigan's dormant 1931 abortion ban

A judge on Tuesday suspended Michigan's dormant, decades-old ban on abortion, which means the procedure would not be illegal in the state even if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its historic Roe v. Wade decision. The Michigan law, which makes it a crime to assist in an abortion, has been on the books since 1931. The court, however, could throw out that landmark ruling before July, leaving abortion issues for each state to decide.

Lawmakers scramble to save abortion rights, Democrat flips conservative House district: The week in Michigan politics

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said abortions will become illegal in Michigan “immediately” once Roe v. Wade is overturned, because of a 1931 law banning abortions apart from those necessary to preserve the mother’s life. National attention turned to Michigan’s 74th House District special election after Carol Glanville became the first Democrat to represent the Kent County district since 1983. Due to redistricting, the May election was the last time the current configuration of the 74th District will be in play. Planned Parenthood of Michigan also filed a lawsuit, the same day, to block enforcement of Michigan’s abortion ban. “In the absence of categorical funding, school safety funding, children’s mental health funding, infrastructure modernization funding, and the teacher recruitment and staff retention funding, this is not the budget that we need for Michigan school children,” Rice said, of the House and Senate budget proposals.
