A circuit court judge has entered a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the Michigan law (MCL 750.14) that bans abortion except to save the life of the mother.

The Aug. 19 action by Oakland County Circuit Judge Jacob Cunningham was in response to a request by Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, to enjoin 13 county prosecutors who have abortion clinics in their jurisdictions from prosecuting doctors who perform an abortion in violation of the statute.
