Whitmer v. Linderman

2022-193498-CZ | Michigan state trial court

Filed Date: April 7, 2022

Case Ongoing

This case was filed by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, to prevent enforcement of Michigan’s long-dormant anti-abortion law. Michigan’s dormant 1931 felony abortion law, MCL 750.14, criminalizes providing an abortion in almost all circumstances and threatens physicians who perform the procedure with imprisonment.

Filed Date: June 27, 2022

Case Ongoing

This case is about Texas’ effort to criminalize abortions prior to the six-week mark of pregnancy through enforcement of a state law from 1925. Prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v.

A limited number of providers continued to perform abortion care up t…

Planned Parenthood of Michigan v. Attorney General of Michigan

22-000044-MM | Michigan state trial court

Filed Date: April 7, 2022

Case Ongoing

This case is plaintiffs’ effort to avoid the triggering of Michigan’s dormant anti-abortion law.

MCL 750.14 was never repealed; it has not been enforced because of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade holding that the U.S. Constitution protects the right to get an abortion. The Michigan Supreme Court has yet …

2:05-cv-70779 | U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
