Right to Life sues to block Michigan's voter-approved abortion rights law
Anti-abortion groups are challenging the constitutionality of an abortion rights proposal passed by voters a year ago today.
Non-Detroit-specific post. Sue me.
Today is just one facepalm after another, folks...
The U.S. Supreme Court in June 2022 ruled abortion laws must be left up to the states, overturning a half-century of federal abortion protections and spurring Michigan voters to approve Proposal 3 in the November 2022 general election, adding the right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy to Michigan's constitution.
In a statement Wednesday, Stacey LaRouche, [Gov. Gretchen] Whitmer's press secretary, said the governor would work to defeat the lawsuit.
"It shouldn’t be lost on people that these right-wing organizations and radical Republicans in the Michigan Legislature are cherry picking courts to try to once again overturn a constitutionally guaranteed right because they can’t win with voters," LaRouche said.
How can they sue when it’s voted on by the people. Is this a Michigan only thing?
You can sue for anything. Doesn't mean it'll go anywhere
