Michigan ’s third attempt at a ban on abortion was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court as the proposed ban fails to provide adequate exception to protect a woman’s health. The decision made on June 4 upheld previous rulings made on the State’s attempts to ban abortion.

Major organizations that actively defend the right to abortion such as the American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are celebrating the decision. The proposed bans coming out of Michigan have consistently neglected to provide consideration for women’s health and promote the idea of limiting the freedom of the individuals at stake.

The court held that the language in the state of Michigan’s proposal to ban abortion “pushed almost every boundary that the Supreme Court has imposed for these types of laws.” Despite attempts at the ban receiving similar condemnation in past years, Michigan continues to make its attempts. In 1996, the legislature passed the first of its several bans only to have it struck down a year later. Another such attempt was made in 2001 but was again revoked.
