David Kallman, an attorney for the two GOP prosecutors, argued against maintaining the restraining order.
“Since when does a governor have the right to go after a law he or she doesn’t like?” Kallman said. “Just come to court and just say, ‘Hey, I might be harmed by this so I want this law overturned or I want it changed.’ That’s ridiculous.”
Cunningham declined to allow attorney John Bursch to argue on behalf of Right to Life of Michigan and the Michigan Catholic Conference.
The judge said the anti-abortion groups aren’t formal parties in the litigation.
Separately, voters in November will likely get an opportunity to decide whether to add abortion rights to the state constitution and trump the old law.
