Michigan’s Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, has asked the state Supreme Court to immediately declare that abortion is a right protected by the Michigan Constitution.

The first-term governor, who is seeking reelection this November, used her executive authority to bypass the lower courts in order to expedite the state Supreme Court’s consideration of her lawsuit.
