In a victory for the pro-life cause and the rights of local government, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled on Aug. 1 that county prosecutors could prosecute violators of a 1931 state law banning most abortions.
The statute, known as Michigan Compiled Law 750.14, was rendered moot for 49 years by the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. The law was revived on June 24 of this year when the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
