Judge Blocks Michigan Abortion Ban From the 1930’s
He wrote that the law is "chilling and dangerous to our state’s population of childbearing people and the medical professionals who care for them."

On Friday, a Michigan judge blocked county prosecutors from enforcing the state’s 1931 abortion ban, which has exceptions only if the pregnant person’s life is at risk. This means that Michiganders will retain access to abortion—at least for the next few months, until the November elections.
The ban sat dormant until the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, making it fair game. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said she wouldn’t enforce the law, but several Republican prosecutors wanted to do so—and today’s ruling says they can’t.
