A judge has suspended Michigan’s dormant ban on abortion, saying it likely violates the state constitution
DETROIT — — A judge on Tuesday suspended Michigan's dormant ban on abortion, saying it likely violates the state constitution.
"After 50 years of legal abortion in Michigan, there can be no doubt but that the right of personal autonomy and bodily integrity enjoyed by our citizens includes the right of a woman, in consultation with her physician, to terminate a pregnancy," It “sends the message that Michigan’s 1931 law banning abortion, even in cases of rape or incest, should not go into effect even if Roe is overturned,” Whitmer said."It will help ensure that Michigan remains a place where women have freedom and control over their own bodies."
