A Michigan judge has declared a 1931 state law banning most abortions unconstitutional, months after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Michigan Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher, ruling that the state’s constitution protects reproductive rights, thereby banning enforcement of the 1931 law that blocked abortion access.
