The Michigan Court of Appeals determined that county prosecutors can enforce the state’s 1931 abortion ban Monday despite Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s pledge to keep abortion legal.
Whitmer sued in April to overturn the 1931 law, which she claims violates the state constitution, and a separate Planned Parenthood lawsuit resulted in a temporary injunction barring state authorities from enforcing the law, according to Axios. But the temporary injunction against the abortion ban doesn’t apply to county prosecutors, the Court of Appeals ruled, meaning the state’s abortion ban can be enforced at the local level.
