Gretchen Whitmer / PHOTO: AP ( John McCann , Headline USA ) A pro-abortion Michigan judge has preserved abortion practices in the state through an injunction, while local prosecutors have vowed to ignore what critics call a flawed and biased injunction and said they will prosecute abortionists in accordance with state law.
Michigan’s legislation on abortion has a twisty past. Prior to the Roe v. Wade ruling, the Wolverine state had passed a law back in 1931 effectively banning the practice. After the Roe ruling in 1973, this law went dormant. Now that Roe is gone, many prosecuting attorneys in the state have argued that the old law is back in place.
These attorneys face opposition from Michigan state Judge Elizabeth Gleicher and Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer . After the Dobbs ruling , Judge Gleicher granted a preliminary injunction to keep the 1931 from becoming active. The suit was filed by Planned Parenthood of Michigan, according to Townhall.
Gleicher’s injunction stated that the 1931 law “likely violates the Michigan constitution.”
It’s no surprise she reached that conclusion, critics argued. Gleicher has a lengthy track-record regarding abortion advocacy, and has been a regular donor to Planned Parenthood.
Somehow, however, despite this clear bias Gleicher was allowed to preside over the injunction suit. Whitmer has also filed suit in order to keep abortion legal in the state.
Despite these headwinds, local attorneys are determined to curtail the judge’s ruling and follow the 1931 law.
“I do not believe it proper for me to simply ignore a law, any law, that was passed by the Michigan Legislature and signed by the Governor,” Grand Rapids public prosecutor Christopher Becker said in a statement.“I have always held it would be improper for me to pick and choose the laws I wish to enforce that have been validly passed and signed.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
