If Roe is overturned, Michigan has abortion ban on the books

Associated Press  

LANSING, Mich. — The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to let a Texas ban on most abortions remain in force — at least for now — prompted warnings and cheers from advocates in Michigan who noted the state still has a 90-year-old ban on the books if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Because we have a pre-Roe law banning abortion on the books, access to abortion in Michigan would be in danger if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade,” Dr. Sarah Wallett, chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood of Michigan, said in a statement. Genevieve Marnon, legislative director for Right to Life of Michigan, said: “When Roe is overturned, Michigan will be an abortion-free state, and we are hopeful that will take place next year after the case is heard.” She said it would not make sense to mirror Texas’ law in Michigan because it still allows abortions until medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, usually around six weeks. She called the Supreme Court’s decision “potentially catastrophic for the right to choose.” State Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, has said the high court’s conservative majority will probably overturn Roe and that she will not enforce Michigan’s abortion ban, drawing criticism from Republicans.
