A judge has blocked Michigan’s 24-hour waiting period for abortions and some other abortion-related provisions. Judge Sima Patel says they conflict with a 2022 voter-approved amendment to the state constitution that guarantees abortion rights. The judge issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday.
The waiting period “forces needless delay on patients after they are able to consent to a procedure, thus burdening and infringing upon a patient’s access to abortion care,” said Judge Sima Patel of the Court of Claims.
The judge also stopped Michigan’s requirement that only a physician can perform an abortion, noting that it excluded qualified nurses, physician assistants and nurse midwives.
