Judge blocks Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban

Tags: news

Michigan’s 1931 law criminalizing abortion will not go into effect if the Supreme Court overturns Roe V. Wade. Lawyers for Right to Life say it’s a rogue decision by the Michigan Court of Claims and vows litigation. The judge said that she found Planned Parenthood likely to be successful in the case, so she granted a preliminary injunction which means that the 1931 law will not go into effect while the case proceeds through the legal system.
