The law remained dormant after the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.
In a victory for abortion rights supporters, a Michigan judge has invalidated the state's 90-year-old ban on abortions that remained on the books but had not been enforced since the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.
Gleicher ordered the attorney general to"personally serve" a copy of the decision to all county prosecuting attorneys in Michigan and advise them that the pre-Roe ban was declared unconstitutional. Pro-choice supporters gather outside the Michigan State Capitol during a"Restore Roe" rally in Lansing on Sept. 7, 2022.The lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood of Michigan and Dr. Sarah Wallett, an abortion provider in the state, was filed in the Michigan Court of Claims before the Supreme Court's blockbuster decision, which involved a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
"A law denying safe, routine medical care not only denies women of their ability to control their bodies and their lives — it denies them of their dignity," she wrote."Michigan's Constitution forbids this violation of due process."
