Michigan Attorney General Won’t Prosecute Abortionists for Killing Babies if Roe is Overturned

The rule of law apparently doesn’t mean much to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. She is promising to not enforce any pro-life laws banning abortions if her state passes an abortion ban once Roe v. Wade is overturned someday.

The Democrat state official told a Planned Parenthood conference Tuesday that it’s “likely” the 1973 ruling legalizing abortion will be reversed. In refusing to prosecute abortionists for breaking a potential abortion ban, she told abortion supporters they would have no reason to worry that she would ever enforce the law.

Democrat Dana Nessel, speaking at a Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan conference, told the crowd of abortion rights supporters that it is “likely” the 1973 decision legalizing abortion will be struck down by the high court’s conservative majority. Michigan is among 10 states that still have pre-Roe abortion bans on the books.

“I will never prosecute a woman or her doctor for making the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy,” Nessel said to applause.

The state Republican Party tweeted at Nessel that her statements are “further evidence that you have decided to only uphold the laws that you agree with. We will accept your resignation at any time.”

Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also spoke at the event near the Capitol, pledging to block the GOP-led Legislature if it passes anti-abortion bills. She pointed to Ohio, which last week banned abortions at the first detectable heartbeat, and Georgia, whose governor is expected to sign a heartbeat bill soon.

“You’ve got a powerful backstop in a veto from my office,” Whitmer said.

She said the goal, however, is “not just to stop bad things from happening. It’s to set an agenda that respects women and girls and family planning, set an agenda that elevates the conversation on real reproductive education for our youngest citizens.”

If Nessel is unwilling to do her job, Michigan voters should replace her with someone who will.
