LANSING, MI – According to reports, the Michigan attorney general has already come forward and proclaimed that she will not be enforcing Michigan’s anti-abortion law that would kick into effect if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
On May 8th, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel referred to a 1931 Michigan law that will go into effect if the Supreme Court follows through with overturning Roe v. Wade, saying she refuses “to enforce this draconian law that will endanger their lives and put to jeopardy the health, safety and welfare of the lives of each and every woman in the state of Michigan.”

This “draconian law” that AG Nessel referenced in her statement pertains to an anti-abortion law that criminalizes abortions except in instances where the procedure was “necessary to preserve the life of such woman.”
Michigan Penal Code 750.14 reads, “Any person who shall willfully administer to any pregnant woman any medicine, drug, substance or thing whatever, or shall employ any instrument or other means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of any such woman, unless the same shall have been necessary to preserve the life of such woman, shall be guilty of a felony, and in case the death of such pregnant woman be thereby produced, the offense shall be deemed manslaughter.”
Based upon the language of the legislation, it can be construed that the law itself will not “endanger” women’s “health” or “safety,” yet a report from NPR on the law asserts that “doctors say they have no idea how to interpret” the rather plain language of the law.
University of Michigan professor and OB-GYN Dr. Lisa Harris is among those medical professionals claiming that the 1931 law isn’t clear on what could be understood as a “necessary” abortion performed in order to “preserve the life” of a woman.
Dr. Harris used as an example instances where a pregnant woman suffers from severe heart disease, where therein lies a 20-30% chance of dying while pregnant, saying, “Is that enough of a chance? I hate to even put it that way, but is that enough of a chance of dying that that person would qualify under Michigan’s ban for a lifesaving abortion? Or would their risk of dying need to be 50% or 100%?”
AG Nessel is among those who believe that matters like abortion shouldn’t even be subjected to restrictive legislation, saying, “Politicians do not belong in our doctor’s offices, they don’t belong in our bedrooms and should not be making these kinds of decisions on behalf of the American public and behalf of women across America.”
The Michigan AG is further hoping that the state’s Supreme Court will determine that abortions is a fundamental right under Michigan’s constitution even if Roe v. Wade is overturned by the nation’s high court.

Why are all the leftists SOOO stupid. If SCOTUS overturns Roe v Wade it just means it goes back to the states. It DOESN’T make abortion illegal. Geez.
So is the Michigan AG saying she won’t enforce Michigan law?
If you don’t like the law, change the law…
Refusing to enforce the law, as a law enforcement official, is a criminal act, and is impeachable…
Absolutely right. Fairly and impartially enforce the law . Don’t pick and choose what laws you want to have enforced because of your ideology.
But NOBODY goes to jail, of course. This AG needs to be yanked out of her office and put in prison for a couple of years.
Just fire her.
If the DA refuses to carry out his official duties the Governor can just remove him and hold a special election. MI needs to make sure they have a conservative Governor to ensure compliance with any and all state laws by whomever holds the office of the DA.
This nessel biotch should be run out of office, disbarred (how in the hell did she even get into college in the first place, let alone law school, and licensed?) and thrown into prison.
“Politicians do not belong in our doctor’s offices, they don’t belong in our bedrooms and should not be making these kinds of decisions on behalf of the American public and behalf of women across America.”
Except during COVID. Or if you have guns in your bedrooms. Then the politicians will say they belong there. Leftists want to control everything, but their Satanic bloodthirstiness can not be satiated. They are drunk on the blood of black and white babies.
Mostly black babies. The whole abortion crap is how the white man (the “elite”) gets rid of the black population. The elite don’t want any Blacks hanging around their neighborhoods. And to think, the Blacks go right along with their white supremists! Amazing.
Michigan is a raging freaking toilet, I’ve been hoping they get completely wiped out since they stole the election in their state.
That’s okay and fully expected. Michigan doesn’t enforce ANY laws now. I expect the same thing with many States. But try to remember, there is a Bill of Rights and it protects all citizens in America including the unborn.
not ok but expected. We need to vote out the blood-shedding Democrat in our state come November!
“WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Our Posterity refers to the unborn, those future generations under our Constitution. Politicians have NO RIGHT to kill our posterity. Women have a duty to protect their children not murder them.
Apparently people do not understand what the results of SCOTUS nullifying Roe v Wade will be, if they overturn Roe v Wade it leaves the decision of the legality of abortions up to the governor and legislature of each individual state since MI is controlled by a Communist party governor and legislators I can only imagine abortions will remain legal.
Just a big DISTRACTION for Vote Fraud, COVID and the rest of the disaster we are in today by DEM RULE!
Not enforcing the law would be malfeasance in office. Thankfully DiPerno will be taking over next year and fill fairly enforce the laws without bias. This is the problem with electing LGBTQ et al people. They are never neutral and just enforcing the written law. They are always advocating and indoctrinating. Nessel is supposed to be an impartial enforcer of the law. She is anything but.
90% or MORE of the most well known figures in the “feminist movement” are/were JEWISH. Not unlike the figures in the COVID scam.
Any place that has to “approve comments” is anti-American and ant-free speech.
What give any law enforcement officer, especially the top officer, the Attorney General the prerogative to pick and choose which LAWS they will and will not enforce? This A.G. Has one choice and one choice only since she was sworn in, enforce every law, fairly, or resign. Period!
BOYCOTT DISQUS! We have no tolerance for censors of absolute free speech no matter how bad it is. Comment censors are disrespectful to the public at large.
Unborn Healthy BABY KILLERS is what the Dems Propose ! Abortion is NOT BIRTH CONTROL PEOPLE ! Factory Baby Parts Selling is NOT SUPPORT FOR ABORTION ! I agree that in some cases abortion is warranted as in Health Defects, Mothers Life, Rape/Incest, but abortion should not be authorized just because YOU DONT WANT THAT BABY !! A lot of Families are available for ADOPTIONS of new borns !!
So she’s advocating criminality as an Attorney General. She must be charged and tried as a criminal and as one advocating sedition too.A criminal hypocrite unfit for office. She has no right to take the law into her own hands.
