Pro-Choice Advocates Sue to End Michigan Abortion Ban

Abortion clinics and doctors have filed a lawsuit which claims that a Michigan ban on “partial birth” abortions is unconstitutional. The suit alleges that the vaguely drafted legislation would allow officials to prosecute doctors for any abortion conducted after the first trimester. The ACLU has also joined in the fight by asking the U.S. District Court for a preliminary injunction to block the ban before it goes into effect at the end of March.
