As abortion fight returns to states, Michigan is on the front line -- in courtrooms and campaigns
CNN
Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is on the front lines of protecting abortion rights in Michigan, where a court injunction is the only thing keeping the state from reverting to a 1931 law that banned and criminalized abortion.
"I don't think many knew that Michigan would snap back 91 years to a law that would render this pro-choice state one of the most extreme in the country," Whitmer told CNN. "No exceptions for rape, no exception for incest. This is how serious this moment is and how dramatic lives could be up ended in Michigan."
A week after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the fallout is rippling across the country, with new legal clashes and fresh political fights emerging to protect -- or further restrict -- abortion rights in one state after another.
