US battle over abortion pills waged state by state
Anti-abortion activists won a historic victory at the Supreme Court last year, but the debate over one of America's most divisive issues is far from over, with focus now shifting to over-the-counter abortion pills.
The expansion has coincided with a number of legal and political battles over the future of mifepristone in several states. Since then, 13 states have banned abortion outright, while one state, Georgia, has outlawed it after six weeks of pregnancy. Others have signalled that they will restrict abortion in the future, or are fighting in court to ban it.
"Today's repeal of this antiquated law is a victory for millions of Michigan residents who, like myself, value bodily integrity and personal freedom," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a news release.
