LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein told hundreds of Democrats Sunday that his court will have the final say on abortion rights in Michigan.
The justice's comments, made as he accepted the Democratic nomination to appear on the Nov. 8 general election ballot, came as two cases challenging the constitutionality of abortion are working their way up to the 4-3 Democratic-nominated majority on the Supreme Court.
"Ultimately, it is the Michigan Supreme Court that will make the absolute final determination, it will be the Michigan Supreme Court that will have the final word in a woman's right to choose in the state of Michigan," Bernstein said.
