The American Freedom Law Center and Great Lakes Justice Center sued in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan on behalf of 16 plaintiffs challenging the abortion rights law voters passed Nov. 8, 2022. Also, the lawsuit says the law “deprives preborn babies” and babies with disabilities of the right to life without due process of law in violation of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. In Romer v. Evans in 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court held that Amendment 2 violated the equal protection guarantee of the 14th Amendment on rational basis grounds because there was no fundamental right nor suspect class implicated. The guaranty of equal protection of the laws is a pledge of the protection of equal laws.”The lawsuit seeks a declaration that the abortion rights law violates the United States Constitution and a permanent injunction to prevent its implementation.
