Hearing Today On 1931 Abortion Ban

gaveltakenbyandrew-4

A hearing will be held today in Oakland County over the state’s 1931 abortion ban. An injunction has prevented the law from taking effect since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which had said abortion was constitutionally protected. Today’s hearing will determine what happens next. The secretary of state’s office is currently working on the over 700,000 petition signatures turned in by groups wanting to put abortion on the November ballot.
