LANSING, Michigan (LifeSiteNews) — A Michigan judge on Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction against the state’s 1931 pro-life law that would have functioned to protect Michigan’s unborn babies in the event Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Michigan Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher granted the injunction sought by Planned Parenthood of Michigan when it filed a lawsuit against Michigan’s Democrat attorney general Dana Nessel seeking to halt enforcement of the law, The Detroit Free Press reported.

Gleicher, who had previously faced calls to recuse herself from the case after she admitted she has donated money to Planned Parenthood, agreed that big-dollar abortion corporation is likely to succeed in its legal claim that the nearly century-old law violates Michigan’s constitution.
