A nearly century-old law banning abortion in Michigan was repealed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Wednesday.
The 1931 law banned abortion, with no exceptions for rape or incest, and called for the prosecution of reproductive care providers.
“Today, we’re going to take action to ensure that our statutes, our laws reflect our values and our constitution,” Whitmer said during a signing ceremony. “This is a long overdue step and it proves that when we keep fighting to protect everyone’s ability to make their own decisions about their bodies, we can win.”
The law remained unenforced for decades after the Supreme Court established a federal right to abortion with Roe v. Wade in 1973, but it was set to take effect when the high court overturned the decision last year.
“This is not a trigger law, this is a zombie law. This predates Roe, and it’s a threat of coming back to haunt us all” Whitmer said, celebrating the law’s repeal. “Who wants to watch me slay a zombie?”

Nothing else to say
She didn't repeal it, Michigan's elected representatives did.
Michigan will now become a bankrupt state...........
How can a governor ‘repeal’ any law?
The Michigan wax figure sure loves killing babies.
What does the Red Queen symbolize in Through the Looking-Glass?
The Red Queen’s constant badgering of and competition with Alice indicates profound feelings of antagonism. She fits into the framework of Alice’s dream as representative arbitrary authority, serving as a caricature of an overbearing governess figure at odds with her young charges.
“...make their own decisions about their bodies...”
Sure, unless it involves the COVID jab. /spit
“This is a long overdue step and it proves that when we keep fighting to protect everyone’s ability to make their own decisions about their bodies...”
That’s a hoot, spoken by a “vaccine” Nazi.
There is absolutely no excuse for murdering innocent babies created in the image of God.
With the support of two Republicans.
Especially those black ones!
The myth of universal Republican support for Pro-Life.
A lot of Republicans are sick and tired of paying for welfare babies and want on-demand abortion available for poor folks.
The Kansas Referendum results were a real eye-opener to that fact that Abortion bans don’t have as much GOP support as people think.
States rights. Works for her.
She wants to turn Michigan into a ‘Vacation Abortion Hot Spot’ much like NC has become.
Very interesting data here on how each state is doing, abortion-wise, since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Proud to say that it looks like 100% of unborn babies in Wisconsin are being given a chance at LIFE! :)

How can a governor ‘repeal’ any law?
Of course a governor can refuse to defend a law he doesn’t like when it is challenged in court like when California voters had the nerve to pass both a law and an amendment to the state constitution saying that marriage was between one man and one woman.
Yes..Please abort ALL DEMOCRAT BABIES! Just kidding.
GOv. SHINY SHOEBOX FACE !
In the 2022 election, both the house and senate flipped to Democraps.
And they're hell bent on overturning all the pro gun legislation that has taken place over the past 20 years also.
