FIVE STARTS NOW. AND WE BEGIN LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE, WITH A MICHIGAN JUDGE BLOCKING THE
STATES 1931 LAW BANNING
ABORTIONS. SO THAT MEANS IF ROE
IS OVERTURNED BY THE SUPREME
COURT, ABORTION WILL NOT BE
CRIMINALIZED IN MICHIGAN FOR
NOW. THAT DECISION COMING LATE
TODAY FROM THE MICHIGAN COURT OF
CLAIMS PARENTHOOD SUED, SAYING
THE 1931 MICHIGAN LAW, WHICH
CRIMINALIZES ABORTION VIOLATES
THE STATE CONSTITUTION. LET’S
GET TOMORROW. MACDONALD LIVE IN
LANSING TONIGHT. MARA, THE JUDGE
IN GRANTING THIS PRELIMINARY
INJUNCTION IS SAYING SHE
BELIEVES PLANNED PARENTHOOD WILL
PREVAIL EVENTUALLY, IN THAT
LAWSUIT, BASICALLY. THAT’S WHAT
HER OPINION, SAYS DEVON, AND
HERE’S WHAT THIS MEANS. IT MEANS
THAT BECAUSE OF HER OPINION AND
HER DECISION THAT 1931 LAW IF
SCOTTY’S DOES INDEED OVERTURN
ROE IT MEANS THAT IT WILL NOT
TAKE EFFECT AT LEAST
IMMEDIATELY. LET ME SHOW YOU
WITH A SUPREME COURT DECISION ON
THE FATE OF ROE EXPECTED ANY DAY
AND IF THE LEAKED OPINION, WHICH
SUGGESTS THE COURT IS
OVERTURNING ROE IS CORRECT, IT
WOULD MEAN THAT MICHIGAN WOULD
REVERT TO A 1931 LAW, WHICH
CRIMINALIZES ABORTION AND MAKES
ONLY ONE EXCEPTION. IF THE LIFE
OF THE MOTHER IS IN JEOPARDY.
WHAT THE MICHIGAN COURT OF
CLAIMS DID TODAY WAS HALT. THAT
1931 LAW FROM GOING BACK INTO
EFFECT, WHILE THE CASE PROCEEDS
THROUGH THE COURT. WE FILED THIS
LAWSUIT ON APRIL 7TH AND ASKED
THE COURT TO BLOCK THIS LAW
BECAUSE IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONALLY
VAGUE. AND VIOLATES THE RIGHTS
TO LIBERTY, BODILY INTEGRITY,
EQUAL PROTECTION AND PRIVACY
UNDER THE MICHIGAN CONSTITUTION
AND STATE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS, THE
JUDGE IN HER OPINION, SAYS
FORCED PREGNANCY FLIES IN THE
FACE OF BEING ABLE TO MAKE
AUTONOMOUS MEDICAL DECISIONS.
QUOTE IF A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO
BODILY INTEGRITY IS TO HAVE ANY
REAL, MEANING. IT MUST
INCORPORATE HER RIGHT TO MAKE
DECISIONS ABOUT THE HEALTH
EVENTS MOST LIKELY TO CHANGE THE
COURSE OF HER LIFE. PREGNANCY
AND CHILDBIRTH. BACK HERE LIVE
REALIZED THAT TODAY’S DECISION
IS IN NO WAY FINAL. THIS IS
REALLY JUST THE BEGINNING. THIS
CASE HAS YET TO BE DECIDED, AND
IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE ONLY
LEGAL MANEUVER ONGOING RIGHT NOW
IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ABOUT
THIS, THE GOVERNOR HAS HER OWN
LAWSUIT PENDING. WE’RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT THAT MORE TONIGHT AT
SIX, AND DEVON, KIMBERLY, WE
REACHED OUT TWO RIGHT TO LIFE OF
MICHIGAN. THEY HAD NO IMMEDIATE
CON OR COMMENT. HOWEVER THEY’VE
GOTTA ZOOM SET UP WITH THEIR
ATTORNEYS AT 5 30. I’M GOING TO
SIT ON THAT HERE WHAT THEY HAVE
TO SAY, AND WE’LL BE BACK HERE
AT SIX. WE’RE LIVE IN LANSING.
AND MARA MACDONALD, LOCAL 4, HAS
ALREADY SAID SHE WOULD NOT
DEFEND THIS LAW. SO COULD
ANOTHER ENTITY, THOUGH THEN
INTERVENE. IT’S AN INTERESTING
SITUATION. YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT
THE PERSON TO DEFEND THE STATE
LAW WOULD BE THE STATE’S
ATTORNEY. EXACTLY AND DANA
NESSEL HAS SAID SHE WILL NOT
DEFEND THIS 1931 LAW IN HER
OFFICE WILL SPEND NO RESOURCES
ON IT. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE
A G HAD ASKED AND TOLD THE
LEGISLATURE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO
INTERVENE IN THIS CASE, PLEASE
GO AHEAD. BE MY GUEST. THE
LEGISLATURE DID AT ONE POINT
APPROPRIATE SOME $750,000 TO TRY
AND KEEP THAT 1931 OR FIGHT TO
KEEP THAT 1931 LAW IN PLACE.
HOWEVER THE LEGISLATURE MADE THE
DECISION NOT TO INTERVENE. SO
NOW THAT WE’VE GOT A PRELIMINARY
INJUNCTION, COULD IT INTERVENE
NOW? ATTORNEYS FOR PLANNED
PARENTHOOD SAY YES. BACK TO YOU
WILL BE WATCHING IT MOMENT BY
MOMENT. ALL RIGHT, MARA AT FIVE.
HURON TOWNSHIP POLICE SAY IT WAS

SHAWN LEY NOW LIVE WITH HIS
SHAWN LEY WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
HERE. CORRECT? IN 18 YEAR OLD
AND HERE’S WHY POLICE WERE
CALLED AT 9 24. TODAY A TEACHER
WAS IN A ROOM SHE FELT SOME OF
THE STUDENTS IN THE ROOM WERE
ACTING IN A RATHER ODD MANNER.
SHE PICKED UP ON THAT THE
STUDENTS LEFT AND A BACKPACK WAS
LEFT ON THE FLOOR. SHE DIDN’T
HESITATE. SHE GRABBED IT, AND
SHE LOOKED INSIDE. WE GOT A TEXT
MESSAGE, AND WE IMMEDIATELY JUST

CERTAINLY FOR SOME TYPE OF
ATTENTION, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT
THAT WAS. BUT LUCKILY FOR ALL OF
US, IT WASN’T A REAL WEAPON, AND
THE STUDENTS WERE NEVER IN
DANGER. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND
POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAINED FOR
THIS, AND TODAY WAS THEIR FIRST
TEST. THEY GIVE A LOT OF KUDOS
TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE.
THEY DO A LOT OF TRAINING LONG
BEFORE THE OXFORD INCIDENT,

HEIGHTENED LEVEL THAT IT PUT

POLICE WANT THAT DRIVER TO COME

PROBABLY IN SHOCK THEMSELVES,
BUT TURN YOURSELVES IN. LET’S
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS IF
YOU’VE GOT ANY INFORMATION ABOUT
THE CRASH, PLEASE CALL DETROIT
POLICE. FORMER VICE PRESIDENT,
MIKE PENCE, VISITED A ROCHESTER
HILLS SCHOOL THIS AFTERNOON TO
TALK WITH STUDENTS AND PARENTS.
HE SPOKE TO STUDENTS AT AN
ASSEMBLY AND HELD A ROUNDTABLE
WITH PARENTS AT LUTHERAN
NORTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL. PENCE IS
PUSHING A PETITION EFFORT TO
CREATE TAX CREDITS AND A
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM THAT COULD
HELP STUDENTS ATTEND. PRIVATE
SCHOOLS ARE PRIYA MANN WAS THERE

THE ISSUE COMING UP ON THE NEWS

PRESIDENT BIDEN IN BUFFALO, NEW
YORK, WHERE HE MET WITH FAMILIES
OF THE VICTIMS FROM SATURDAY’S
DEADLY SUPERMARKET SHOOTING
PRESIDENT, FIRST LADY VISITING
THE MEMORIAL THAT HAS SPRUNG UP
AT THE TOP SUPERMARKET HONORING
THOSE KILLED IN THE SHOOTING.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE LATER,
BOUQUET OF FLOWERS THERE. 11 OF
THE 13 PEOPLE SHOT IN THE ATTACK
WERE BLACK, THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AS WE REPORTED
INVESTIGATING THIS INCIDENT AS A
HATE CRIME. THE 18 YEAR OLD
SUSPECT, ALLEGEDLY SELF
IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS A WHITE
SUPREMACIST IN AN ONLINE
MANIFESTO AND DURING TODAY’S
ADDRESS, THE PRESIDENT SAID, WE
ALL HAVE TO STAND UP TO WHITE
SUPREMACY. YOU CAN’T PREVENT
PEOPLE FROM BEING RADICALIZED TO
VIOLENCE. BUT WE CAN’T ADDRESS
THE RELENTLESS EXPLOITATION OF
THE INTERNET TO RECRUIT AND
MOBILIZE TERRORISM. WE JUST NEED
TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THAT
TO STAND UP. THE ACCUSED IN THE
CASE SCHEDULED TO MAKE ANOTHER
COURT APPEARANCE ON THURSDAY.
WHILE THE WHITE HOUSE IS
HERALDING A DEAL TO REOPEN A
MICHIGAN BABY FORMULA FACTORY,
THERE REALLY IS STILL NO YET AN
INDIAN SITE FOR THE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF PARENTS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING TO FIND FORMULA
REALLY IS A STRUGGLE TO THIS IS
VIDEO FROM SKY FOR TODAY OVER
THE ABBOT PLANT IN STURGIS, AND
WHEN THAT PLANT REOPENS, IT
COULD STILL TAKE THREE MONTHS TO
GET FORMULA BACK ON STORE
SHELVES. SO WHAT OUR PARENTS
LEFT TO DO IN THE INTERIM
CONSUMER INVESTIGATOR HANK
WINCHESTER IS LIVE A LITTLE BIT
OF PROMISING NEWS TODAY, HANK.
KIMBERLY THERE IS SOME PROMISING
NEWS. BUT IF YOU MAKE YOUR WAY
AROUND STORES HERE IN METRO
DETROIT, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS MYERS
STORE IN DETROIT OR MANY
PHARMACIES, MAYBE IN YOUR OWN
COMMUNITY WILL NOTICE. A LOT OF
THOSE STORE SHELVES ARE BARE THE
GOOD NEWS, THOUGH. FORMULA NOW
MAKING ITS WAY TO THE U. S FROM
OVERSEAS, AND ALSO THERE’S
FORMULA RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER.
TAKE A LOOK. THE DESPERATE
SEARCH FOR BABY FORMULA SO
FRUSTRATING FOR SO MANY OF YOU.
SO TODAY I HIT SEVERAL STORES IN
METRO DETROIT, AND WHILE MOST OF
THE SHELVES WERE EMPTY, WE DID
LEARN SOME MORE PRODUCT IS ON
THE WAY AT SELECT CBP’S
LOCATIONS. WE GET OUR ORDERS,
AND SO OUR TRUCK COMES IN
TOMORROW. SO TODAY, NESTLE
CONFIRMING THAT NEW FORMULA
PRODUCTS FROM OVERSEAS ARE IN
ROUTE NOW TO THE U. S THIS WILL
HELP GET PRODUCT AND SHELVES
SOONER THAN EXPECTED. AND THEN
WESTERN MICHIGAN TODAY, PERHAPS
UNDERWAY TO REOPEN THE ABBOT
PLANT. BUT REMEMBER, IT WILL
STILL TAKE WEEKS FOR THE NEW
FORMULA TO HIT LOCAL STORES IN
CANADA. THE US SHORTAGE IS
CAUSING SOME ISSUES, BUT MOST
STORE SHELVES ARE STILL STOCKED
. SOME OF OUR RETAILERS ARE
SAYING THAT THEY DON’T HAVE A
HUGE SHORTAGE AT THIS POINT IN
TIME, AND THAT ANY SHORTFALLS
WITHIN THEIR STORE SHELVES IS
TEMPORARY. IN NATURE. MICHELLE
IS WITH THE CANADIAN RETAIL
COUNCIL AND SAYS THAT WHILE
AMERICANS CAN CROSS THE BORDER
ER. THEY WILL BE LIMITED IN THE
AMOUNT OF FORMULA THEY CAN BUY
RIGHT NOW. WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE
ARE COMING FROM THE UNITED
STATES ARE BUYING HERE FROM
WITHIN CANADA. MOST RETAILERS
RIGHT NOW ARE LIMITING THE
NUMBER OF PRODUCTS THAT THEY CAN
PURCHASE TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS
ENOUGH TO GO AROUND FOR EVERYONE
HERE AT HOME. PEDIATRICIANS
OFFERING SUPPORT TO PATIENTS
SOME HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
FORMULA SUPPLIERS, WHILE OTHERS
CAN HELP POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION TO FIND COMMUNITY
PROGRAMS THAT COULD HELP YOU
REALLY LOOKING TOWARDS YOUR YOUR
COMMUNITY AS A FAMILY AND
HELPING YOU TO FIND A REASONABLE
SOLUTION IS WHAT I RECOMMEND,
AND THEN ALWAYS GO TO YOUR
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. IF YOU
REALLY GET INTO A PINCH. HERE IN
THE STATES MORE THAN 70% OF THE
FORMULA YOU SEE ON STORE SHELVES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IT STARTED
AT THAT ABBOTT PLANT IN MICHIGAN
. THAT’S WHERE IT WAS PRODUCED
AND PACKAGED. THAT’S NOT
NECESSARILY THE CASE. IN CANADA
. SO IF YOU DO MAKE YOUR WAY
ACROSS THE RIVER, UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU’RE LIKELY GOING TO BE
PURCHASING A DIFFERENT BRAND
THAN THE ONE THAT MAYBE YOU’RE
BUYING HERE IN THE STATES AND
MAYBE A PRODUCT THAT YOUR CHILD
HAS ALREADY BEEN USED TO WE’RE
