LANSING – Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Jacob Cunningham granted a temporary restraining order to prohibit enforcement of Michigan’s 1931 statute criminalizing abortion. The injunction prohibits local county prosecutors from criminally prosecuting abortion in Michigan while the order is pending.

The Michigan Department of Attorney General filed a motion for a temporary restraining order on Monday after the Michigan Court of Appeals issued a ruling that Michigan’s local county prosecutors are not bound by an injunction issued by Judge Elizabeth Gleicher in May.

1. I expect the christo- fascist judges are in the minority

And most judges don't want deaths from illegal abortions on their conscience.

2. The Appeals judge is a Dem

Her hands are tired, because of the law on the books. An Appeals court can pnly do so much.

This law is almost a century old, and should have been stricken from the books.
