BREAKING NEWS IN THE BATTLE OVER
ABORTION IN MICHIGAN AND OAKLAND

WHILE THE JUDGE WEIGHED INTO THE
DEBATE ON MONDAY, AFTER THE
MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS RULED
COUNTY PROSECUTORS COULD START

GOVERNOR WHITMER, THEN CHALLENGE
THE RULING JUDGE JACOB
CUNNINGHAM ISSUED THE
RESTRAINING ORDER TODAY, THE
GOVERNOR’S ATTORNEY SAID ENDING
THE ORDER CAUSES MORE CHAOS,
WHILE THE OTHER SIDE OF
QUESTIONED THE GOVERNOR’S LEGAL
STANDING IN THE BATTLE. THERE IS
NOTHING IN ANY OF THE
AFFIDAVITS. OR THE MOTION OR
BRIEF THAT EVEN STATES HOW THE
GOVERNOR IN HER OFFICIAL
CAPACITY BECAUSE THAT’S HOW
SHE’S DOING THIS AND I’M TALKING
ABOUT HER PERSONAL CAPACITY. SHE
IS SUED AS THE GOVERNOR. HOW IS
SHE HARMED? AS THE GOVERNOR OF
MICHIGAN? THE BALANCE OF THE
HARMS HERE IS SO LOPSIDED
BECAUSE ABORTION IS INHERENTLY A
TIME SENSITIVE THING. IF YOU
NEED ONE, YOU CAN’T WAIT 346
WEEKS. ALL RIGHT. THIS JUST IN
MOMENTS AGO, THE JUDGE DECIDED
THE RESTRAINING ORDER WILL STAY
. IN EFFECT. THERE WILL BE MORE
HEARINGS, BUT ABORTION REMAINS
LEGAL. FOR NOW. PROSECUTORS
CANNOT CHARGE ANYONE. MCDONALD
