Judge Elizabeth Gleicher said Michigan's 1931 anti-abortion law violates the state's constitution.
FILE - Abortion rights protesters attend a rally outside the state Capitol in Lansing, Mich., on June 24, 2022, following the United States Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Judge Elizabeth Gleicher, of the Court of Claims, on Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022, struck down Michigan's 1931 anti-abortion law, months after suspending it. Judge Gleicher said the law, long dormant before U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, violates the Michigan Constitution.
The decision comes as the Michigan Supreme Court still is considering whether to place a proposed amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot that would add abortion rights to the state constitution. A Friday deadline is looming.by the Board of State Canvassers over spacing issues on the petition has kept it off the ballot so far.
The judge found the law “compels motherhood” and prevents a woman from determining the “shape of her present and future life.”
