BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, surrounded by a packed room of pink-wearing lawmakers, advocates, doctors and stakeholders, on Wednesday signed legislation to repeal Michigan's 1931 abortion ban.
"Who would like to see me slay a zombie?" Whitmer exclaimed before signing the legislation, calling the ban a "threat coming back to haunt us all."
The Michigan House voted 58-50 last month to repeal the state's abortion ban with the support of two Republicans. The Michigan Senate followed suit a few days later, sending the bill to Whitmer for her signature.
