Michigan s 1931 abortion ban that would take effect if roe is overturned. what would this mean in terms of the immediate impact? yeah, well, so if roe is overturned, michigan will revert to having one of the most extreme laws in the country. we would go overnight from a pro-choice state to a state that makes it a felony to perform an abortion. it would criminalize the act of giving an abortion to a woman who is the victim of insist or rape even. it would be one of the most extreme laws on the books and that s why we surveyed the tools available to me as governor and filed this lawsuit over a month ago because we saw the direction that it looked like the united states supreme court was taking and we thought it was important to take this case straight to our state supreme court and ask them to rule that the michigan constitution confers a woman s right to abortion, a right to make her own health care decisions underst our state
