Michigan court blocks enforcement of state’s 1931 abortion ban if Roe is overturned

A Michigan Court of Claims judge on Tuesday, May 17, granted a motion filed by Planned Parenthood of Michigan and the ACLU, effectively preventing the state’s attorney general from enforcing a 1931 law that bans most abortions in Michigan. The law is currently superseded by the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, but it is believed the nation’s high court will soon overturn Roe, leaving abortion regulation up to individual states.
