The law made abortion illegal except to protect the mother's life.
A judge has struck down Michigan’s 1931 abortion law that banned nearly all abortions.
On Wednesday, Judge Elizabeth Gleicher of Michigan’s Court of Claims declared the nearly 100-old law unconstitutional.
The law made it a crime to perform abortions except when the mother’s life is in danger.
Gleicher ruled the law will “endanger the health and lives of women,” violating both their bodily integrity and right to equal protection as protected under the Michigan Constitution, which she said can be interpreted more broadly than the federal Constitution.
“Manifestly, criminalizing abortion will eliminate access to a mainstay healthcare service,” Gleicher wrote in her opinion. “For 50 years, Michiganders have freely exercised the right to safely control their health and their reproductive destinies by deciding when and whether to carry a pregnancy to term. Eliminating abortion access will force pregnant women to forgo control of the integrity of their own bodies, regardless of the effect on their health and lives.”

Feminazi should have recused herself.
Pick up the SC hotline on this one.
But a judge just making up stuff and calling it "Science" to write decrees from the bench is judicial fascism. She is substituting her morality for the will of the people expressed through the legislature the elected.
The Supreme Court of each state will have the final say on these abortion laws. Basically it will be up to the citizenry to decide whether or not they want to allow abortions.
Didn’t the supreme court just recently rule that this kind of law IS “constitutional”?
Like every case that goes to a state supreme court, it can be appealed to scotus. Scotus may decline to hear it but they can do that.
Who is the judge? What’s her story?
will force pregnant women to forgo control of the integrity of their own bodies

It’s been a while, but the sex talk in the HS Gym talked about how that pregnant stuff happened.
There was some sort of talk about control of integrity of their own body.
What a terrible argument. It’s been in abeyance for 50 years due to judicial tyranny.
Make sure you have your stooge piece in the right place, at the right time.
Then, a Stooge In Time beats Nine.
==================================
Gleicher was born in Detroit, Michigan. Her father, Morris Gleicher (1917–1992), was a former president of the Michigan ACLU. She received her bachelor's degree in history from Carleton College in 1976 and her Juris Doctor degree from Wayne State University law school in 1979.
She began her legal career at Goodman, Eden, Millender & Bedrosian in Detroit, a firm known for "defending those considered indefensible, not because of what they did, but because of who they were, reflecting the prejudices of their times." Gleicher was one of the six associates and partners in Ernest Goodman's firm who went on to receive the "Champion Of Justice Award" from the State Bar of Michigan during the course of their careers.
Gleicher opened her own law practice in 1994. She was elected a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers in 2004 and in 2007 was appointed to the Michigan Court of Appeals [by ultraRat Jennifer "GrandMole" Granholm].

Your argument punishes the pro-life side precisely for using peaceful means to overturn the bad court decision.
You might as well say that post-Brown, local courts should have ruled the 14th Amendment was in abeyance since 1896.
Or, it will be up to the Democrat stooge-judges that were installed via vote fraud...

If murder is to be considered healthcare I think the class of eligible victims should be enlarged.
Hey, wait a minute. I thought any law on the books for more than 40 years could never be changed. Isn’t that what the left said about Roe v Wade?
How is it unConstitutional?
Yup
Pregnancy is the normal state of the uterus.
It is not a health care problem.
I am not pro-abortion. But at the same time I don't believe that you should be able to revive old and long dormant laws
If a state has relied for 150 years on a criminal statute against murder on an ongoing basis that is fine. But a state AG should not be able to revive a 150 year old law, still on the books but not used since 1925, say, to require that you provide a horse stall on urban property.
