DETROIT — Michigan's Republican-controlled Legislature has asked an appellate court to overturn a judge's preliminary injunction currently stopping Michigan's abortion ban from being enforced.
The Michigan House and Senate argued in their Wednesday appeal that Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher's May preliminary injunction blocking Michigan's abortion ban was an "extreme judicial overreach" and asked the Court of Appeals to overrule Gleicher's decision.
"The court below improperly arrogated to itself the power to decide a contentious social issue that the Michigan Constitution, properly understood, allows the people of Michigan and their chosen representatives to decide," the Legislature's filing said.
