The thread has torn. The Michigan Court of Appeals has just ruled that MI’s 83 county prosecutors can now begin enforcing the abortion ban. But note that the Dem prosecuting attorneys have committed to refuse to enforce the ban, and the injunction still applies to my department.

1. Republicans like beating up on pregnant women

They’re easy targets.

2. More appeals probably by Governor Whitmer too

3. Wow. Crazy.

Whitmer should pardon anyone charged under this law.

5. If possible this is maybe the best way to handle it

6. She can pardon.

…and she will if any prosecutor tries to prosecute.

4. Roe your vote! ...

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

Vote blue up and down the ticket; oust the radicalized Republican party.

7. Two points.

1. This will get appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, where we have a 4-3 majority.
2. We will be voting on and passing a state constitutional amendment protecting Roe in Michigan in November.
