That didn't take long at all. Gov Whitmer Grandstands On The Leak

The Detroit News: Whitmer says she'll 'fight like hell' for abortion access in Michigan after court leak

Then again if she'll fight like hell for abortion to the same extent she's fighting to "fix the damn roads",  those who are against abortion have nothing to worry about from our Governor.

The most interesting part of that article is how many law enforcement officials are publicly announcing they will not do their duty and enforce a law:

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel repeatedly has said she would not enforce the law, arguing that doing so would “drive women to back alleys again."

"I will never prosecute a woman or her doctor for making the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy," said Nessel in 2019, suggesting that doing so would be "sending women to be butchered."

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald on Monday issued a similar promise: “If Roe v Wade is overturned, I will do everything in my power to protect the over half a million women in Oakland County and their right to make choices over their own bodies."

Quite an interesting precedent, that.  I can't wait for Republican prosecutors to announce which laws they will flatly refuse to enforce in turn on their preferred issues.  No need for legislative change, just get a prosecutor elected who will not enforce the law that is counter to your ideology or preferences, so much easier.

Hey Aaron;

Funny that...the same people that are screaming that they are all for protecting women and abortion rights"Their Bodies, their Choices" are the same people pushing for mandatory vaccinations...or else.....Funny that.

The money spent on abortions would pay for a Lot of condoms or birth control pills.

MrGarabaldi: Yes, there's an interesting correlation there.

glasslass: That it would, but that would imply the users having foresight and a recognition of personal responsibility and an ability to control their gratification.
