Michigan judge strikes down 24-hour waiting period for abortions

A Michigan Court of Claims judge has invalidated the state's 24-hour waiting period for abortions, citing a conflict with a constitutional amendment on abortion rights passed in 2022. The decision has drawn mixed reactions: Genevieve Marnon from Right to Life Michigan criticized the ruling for potentially leaving women uninformed, while Shanay Watson-Whittaker from Reproductive Freedom for All praised it as a victory for reproductive rights, noting the support of 57% of Michiganders in the 2022 vote.
