A county judge in Michigan issued an extended order on Aug. 3 stopping the enforcement of a 1931 abortion ban just days after the state Court of Appeals upheld the law.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer filed a restraining order on Aug. 1 after the Court of Appeals ruled that county prosecutors could go ahead and enforce the state’s abortion ban. Hours later, Oakland County Judge Jacob Cunningham granted the restraining order, prohibiting prosecutors in counties with abortion providers from enforcing the 1931 law.
