MI Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a motion with the Michigan Court of Claims in Northland v Nessel, a case challenging several abortion restrictions under Michigan’s fundamental constitutional right to reproductive freedom. The motion urges the Court to find the abortion restrictions unconstitutionally discriminatory. “Women wishing to continue their pregnancy, those seeking management for a miscarriage, and men pursuing a vasectomy all may do so without this level of state interference. Michigan residents and their healthcare providers deserve the same freedom when it comes to the deeply personal decision to have an abortion. The people of Michigan have made clear that unequal treatment has no place in our state, and I will continue working to ensure that our laws reflect the constitutional standards that Michigan voters have demanded.” – AG Nessel
