AG Nessel: Dobbs decision ?extraordinary upheaval in the American legal system?

LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel released the following statement Friday morning:?

"The overturning of Roe is not just the loss of a right; it is the erosion of our status as equal citizens under the law. As a nation, we trust in our highest court to hold sacred their duty, free from political whim. Today?s decision sets a dangerous precedent in reversing 50 years? of settled law; creating extraordinary upheaval in the American legal system; and putting at risk other individual rights that generations of Americans fought to secure and preserve. ?

"Now we must do what our courts have failed to do: we must act to ensure that women are not permanently relegated to second-class citizens in this country. I will continue to fight for a women?s right to choose with the full weight of my office. Michigan residents?must continue to fight for reproductive rights at the ballot box in November.??
