Michigan’s Democratic-majority legislature has voted to repeal a state abortion ban from 1931, sending the bill to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) desk for a signature.
The Michigan state Senate approved a bill on Wednesday to overturn the law, which made it a felony punishable by up to four years in prison to provide an abortion to a woman unless her life was in danger. The vote fell largely along party lines, as it did when it passed the state House last week.
The 1931 law remained unenforced for decades after the Supreme Court established a federal right to abortion with Roe v. Wade in 1973. However, after the high court overturned Roe last June, confusion abounded about whether the state law was in effect.
A Michigan judge ruled in September that the ban violated the state’s constitution and was unenforceable, and voters enshrined abortion rights in the Michigan constitution with a ballot initiative in November.

92 years later & this JUDGE considers it UNCONSTITUTIONAL????
Michigan Republicans [Assistant Democrats] sold their voters down the river to their colleagues across the aisle.

Congratulations Mike Shirkley.
Only a formality and showboating virtue signaling (using the term “virtue” loosely).
After the Nov., 2022 Michigan proposal vote abortion as a right is in the state constitution. It’s all over.
This was Whitmer’s Judge. It’s the same Judge that blocked any attempts to challenge the 20 election

Im so ashamed at what Michigan has become. Yet here I am....
No such thing as a Michigan Republican that I can find...
I adapted the saying "a stitch in time saves nine" for these instances.
They got hold of the 2016 ballots in the summer of 2018 from the red Michigan counties [the blue counties told them that they could get the ballots, but not until early 2019].
No worries!
"Blue Wave" in the red Michigan counties in 2018, no Blue Wave in the blue counties.
Imagine that...
Also, zero protests from the Assistant Democrats.
