38% : The decision could have a sweeping and drastic impact in the state, where Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and many other pro-abortion rights advocates have fought to maintain legal access to abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade in June.
38% : But prosecutors in Kent, Jackson and Macomb counties -- where there are also abortion providers -- have indicated they would review possible criminal charges brought by local law enforcement.
38% : Representatives for Whitmer and Planned Parenthood of Michigan did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
