Michigan Judge Grants Gretchen Whitmer’s Request to Block Abortion Ban
August 19, 2022 | Michigan
A Michigan judge has granted Gretchen Whitmer’s request to block the state’s abortion ban that protects the lives of unborn babies.
Oakland County Judge Jacob Cunningham sided with the pro-abortion governor and granted her request for a preliminary injunction. His order means county prosecutors can’t enforce the 1931 abortion ban that went into effect following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The Michigan Supreme Court has 6 months to determine whether the ban can ultimate be enforced so women and babies can be protected from aboritons. Abortions will be legal in Michigan until the Whitmer lawsuit or the one from the Planned Parenthood abortion business is fully resolved.
The ruling came after a two-day evidentiary hearing in Oakland County Circuit Court in front of Judge Jacob Cunningham where attorneys renewed their arguments for and against the temporary ban. This was the first hearing in the country since Roe v. Wade was overturned with live testimony on the impact of allowing the criminalization of abortion.
Cunningham said the harm of allowing prosecutors to criminalize abortions could not be “more real, clear, present and dangerous.”
“This is the ultimate example of maintaining the status quo,” Cunningham said. “There is precisely zero harm to the defendants by granting a preliminary injunction”
The ruling of course ignores the harm to unborn babies who are killed in abortions while the lawsuit plays out. Likely thousands of babies will be killed at abortion businesses across the state in the meantime and women could be killed or injured by dangerous abortions and abortion pills….
