In a matter of just hours, Michigan’s pre-Roe abortion law could, then couldn’t, be enforced

“In our first amicus curiae brief, we argued that the Governor’s case should be dismissed. We explained that the Michigan Court of Appeals had previously determined that there is no right to abortion in the Michigan Constitution and that the Governor lacks authority to prevent the County Prosecutors from enforcing Section 750.14, if and when that law goes back into effect. County Prosecutors are elected officials and have discretion to decide whether to institute a prosecution; the Governor cannot dictate how they exercise their discretion.” – ACLJ American Center for Law and Justice, August 9, 2022
