Abortions continue to be legal in Michigan after a 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court decision on Friday that overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision enshrining abortion rights in the U.S. Constitution.
A Michigan judge's May ruling halting enforcement of the state's more than century-old abortion ban means the law banning abortions will not take full effect for the time being.
Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher's May preliminary injunction is being challenged by the Michigan House and Senate and by Right to Life of Michigan, the Michigan Catholic Conference and two county prosecutors in the state Court of Appeals. As of Friday, there have been no decisions on the groups' appeals.
