JUDGE PERMANENTLY STRIKES DOWN
MICHIGAN’S 1931 BAN ON ABORTIONS
JUST MONTHS AFTER SUSPENDING IT
IN A DECISION VERY LIKELY TO BE
APPEALED BY ANTI ABORTION GROUPS
, JUDGE ELIZABETH GLACIER RULED
THE LAW VIOLATES THE MICHIGAN
CONSTITUTION. IT WAS DORMANT
BEFORE THE US SUPREME COURT
OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS WADE IN
JUNE MAKES IT A CRIME TO PERFORM
ABORTIONS UNLESS THE LIFE OF THE
MOTHER IS IN DANGER. THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OTHER
PROSECUTORS AND PLANNED
PARENTHOOD SUED TO GET A RULING
ON WHETHER THE 1931 IN LAW IS
CONSTITUTIONAL. MEANWHILE THIS
WEEK, THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT
IS EXPECTED TO RULE WHETHER A
BALLOT PROPOSAL GUARANTEEING
ABORTION RIGHTS WILL BE ON THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT. THAT DECISION
IS EXPECTED BY FRIDAY. THAT’S
THE DEADLINE FOR WHEN BALLOTS
NEED TO BE PRINTED. ON
WEDNESDAYS IN THE CITY. YOU
MIGHT SEE A GROUP OF PEOPLE OUT
WALKING THE STREETS LED BY
POLICE CHIEF JAMES WHITE. IT’S
AN EFFORT TO TALK DIRECTLY TO
PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN
NEIGHBORHOODS ABOUT GUN SAFETY
JASON COLTHORPE TONIGHT ON THE
WEST SIDE, AND IT’S A MESSAGE
THAT’S ABOUT UNITY. EXACTLY
BEING UNITED ON THE MESSAGE OF
GUN SAFETY AND GETTING THAT
MESSAGE OUT TO HIS MANY PEOPLE
AS POSSIBLE. IT’S WALK A MILE
WEDNESDAY. LET’S HAVE SOME FUN,
BUT MOST OF ALL, LET’S MAKE SOME
NOISE IN A POSITIVE WAY. JAMES
WHITE IS DOING MORE THAN JUST
WALKING. HE’S PASSING OUT GUN
LOCKS. WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT TO
ME, GETTING THEM OUT OF PEOPLE
USING IT. HOW YOU DOING? HOW YOU
DOING FOR YOU? IF YOU DON’T NEED
TO GIVE IT SOMEONE WHO DOES SO
WE CAN PASS THEM ON ALL DAY
LONG, BUT YOU GOT TO TAKE THAT
30 SECONDS 45 SECONDS. TO SECURE
YOUR WEAPON. GUNS GET US IN MORE
TROUBLE THAN TO GET US OUT OF.
IF YOU’VE GOT A WEAPON, YOU HAVE
A TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITY TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT’S SECURED
PROPERLY. MORE THAN 50. DETROIT
CHILDREN HAVE BEEN INJURED OR
KILLED BY GUNS THIS YEAR,
INCLUDING A FIVE YEAR OLD WHO
WAS KILLED AUGUST 23RD WHEN THEY
FOUND A GUN IN A RELATIVE’S
HOUSE, AND IT WENT OFF ITS THOSE
STORIES THAT TAKE THE STEAM OUT
OF STATISTICS. THAT MAY SHOW
PROGRESS IN OTHER AREAS WHEN YOU
HAVE 100 FATAL SHOOTINGS LESS
THAN YOU DID THE YEAR BEFORE.
THAT DOESN’T HELP WHEN YOU HAVE
A CHILDHOOD, OR YOU HAVE A
CITIZEN WHO HAS LOST A LOVED
ONE. YOU KNOW THOSE NUMBERS MEAN
NOTHING. IN ADDITION TO CHILDREN
BEING SHOT, DETROIT HAS ALSO
SEEN A WAVE OF MASS SHOOTINGS
THAT TWO BRINGS CONCERNED
CITIZENS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS
OUT TO THESE WALKS. WE WANT TO
SEE OUR CITY SAFE. QUINCY SMITH
IS WITH DETROIT CEASEFIRE WHICH
PREACHES CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND
DE ESCALATION AS WAYS TO STOP
THE SHOOTING. BEFORE IT STARTS
TEACHING FOLKS CONFLICT
RESOLUTION IN THE ESCALATION,
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, RESTORED,
RESTORED PRACTICES. THERE’S SO
MANY METHODS AND STRATEGIES THAT
WE CAN PUSH IN THE COMMUNITY
THAT WOULD BE SO BENEFICIAL AND
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THERE’S A LOT
OF GROUPS OUT HERE DOING THAT
KIND OF WORK. YOU KNOW, WE JUST
GOTTA WE GOTTA TOUCH MORE
PEOPLE. SO MANY PEOPLE ON THAT
WALK TONIGHT TALKED ABOUT THE
KIDS LIKE THE ONES YOU SEE
BEHIND ME, THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE
TO PROTECT THOSE KIDS. AND
THAT’S WHY THEY’RE DOING THIS
ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AT A TIME. ONE
WEEK AT A TIME ON THE WEST SIDE
TONIGHT, JASON COLTHORPE FOR
LOCAL EASTERN MICHIGAN
UNIVERSITY, FILING A LAWSUIT
TONIGHT ASKING A JUDGE TO FORCE
ITS STRIKING FACULTY MEMBERS
BACK TO WORK. LAST NIGHT, THE
EMU FACULTY VOTED 91% IN FAVOR
OF AUTHORIZING A STRIKE. TWO
SIDES BEEN FIGHTING OVER PAY,
RAISES AND COST OF HEALTHCARE
CONTRACT TALKS BETWEEN BOTH
SIDES STILL ONGOING. TODAY
HUNDREDS OF PROFESSORS HIT THE
PICKET LINES IN A MOVE THAT
CANCELED CLASSES FOR SOME
STUDENTS. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS
JUST BEEN STONEWALLING THIS THE
WHOLE TIME IN ORDER TO TRY TO
FORCE US TO WHAT AMOUNT TO PAY
CUTS. THAT’S ALL THAT IS TO IT.
YOU KNOW, THEY’RE OFFERING US 2%
PAY RAISES AT A TIME. WHEN
INFLATION IS 9% WE’RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO WORK AND TRY TO
BRING RESOLUTION TO THIS PRIMARY
INTEREST FOR US IS GETTING TO A
PLACE WHERE STUDENTS CAN GET
BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM AND WE
HAVE TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS. OUR
FACULTY KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT
AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE FOCUSED
ON. SO IF A JUDGE GRANTS THE
INJUNCTION, IT WOULD FORCE
PRESUMABLY IN NEW PROFESSORS
BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM. A SEX
ASSAULT INVESTIGATION IS NOW
UNDERWAY ON THE CAMPUS OF
OAKLAND UNIVERSITY. POLICE SAY
THE ASSAULT TOOK PLACE IN THE P
FIVE PARKING LOT NEAR OAK VIEW

SUSPICIOUS FIRES ALL SET AT THE
SAME MOBILE HOME PARK IN THE
PAST MONTH. MOST OF THE FIRES
WERE STARTED IN TRASH CANS
OUTSIDE THE HOMES, BUT ALL SEVEN
FIRES BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
STARTED INTENTIONALLY.
FORTUNATELY NO ONE HAS BEEN
SERIOUSLY HURT IN ANY OF THESE
FIRES. THEY HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF
DAMAGE AT THE ARBOR WOODS MOBILE
HOME PARK. LATEST FIRE MONDAY
WHEN A NEIGHBOR SPOTTED A 15
YEAR OLD TRYING TO SET FIRE TO A
PATIO. WASHINGTON COUNTY
SHERIFF’S OFFICE HAS IDENTIFIED
