The same day the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that county prosecutors could enforce the state’s pre-Roe abortion ban, a judge issued a temporary restraining order to block its enforcement.
(LifeSiteNews) — A judge temporarily blocked enforcement of Michigan’s pre-Roe abortion ban upon the request of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
After a state court ruled August 1 that local prosecutors could enforce the 1931 ban, Judge Jacob Cunningham issued a temporary restraining order later that day to block the law’s enforcement, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Cunningham wrote that “(Whitmer) has established that (prosecutors’) public statements that they will consider a case against an abortion provider should a law enforcement officer bring one to them,” along the Michigan Court of Appeals’ affirmation of their ability to prosecute abortion, “poses a threat of immediate and irreparable injury to the people of the State of Michigan.”
The Court of Appeals had ruled earlier in the day that county prosecutors are not bound by Judge Elizabeth Gleicher’s May 17, 2022 preliminary injunction intended to block enforcement of the abortion ban, prompting Whitmer to request for a temporary restraining order.
Still on the books, the Michigan abortion ban criminializes abortion in all cases except to save the mother’s life, with penalties of up four years in prison. It could potentially penalize mothers who perform their own abortions, including through pills, according to Axios.

Whitmer is lawless. This ruling too will be overturned.
Imagine being so intent on killing babies. It boggles the mind.
Some innocent infant lives will be saved from abortion and they just can’t have any of that under their watch.
FTA: “...poses a threat of immediate and irreparable injury to the people of the State of Michigan.”
What about the immediate and irreparable injury to the little babies of Michigan!
So why can’t another judge overrule the second judge?
So much for judicial independence.
WITCH!
