Appeals Court Rejects Mich. Abortion Law
By DAVID EGGERT
Associated Press Writer
LANSING, Mich. --
A federal appeals court Monday rejected Michigan's attempt to ban a
procedure opponents call partial-birth abortion, ruling the law
unconstitutional because it could also prohibit other abortion
procedures.
A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal said the
Michigan Legislature would have been "virtually guaranteed" a
favorable result on appeal had it copied an Ohio law that the 6th
Circuit already has upheld.
"It instead opted to use statutory language that pushed almost every
boundary that the Supreme Court has imposed for these types of laws,"
the judges said.
