Michigan Governor Whitmer repeals 90-year-old abortion ban.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill repealing the state's 1931 abortion ban, which criminalized abortion and punished doctors and nurses for administering drugs that induce a miscarriage. The repeal comes after a Michigan state judge ruled the ban unconstitutional and Michiganders voted in favor of a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights. Whitmer has been a vocal supporter of abortion access and signed an executive order in July refusing to extradite women seeking abortion and providers offering the procedure.
