Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called on the state legislature on Tuesday to repeal a decades-old state law that criminalizes abortion, which could go into effect if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

The governor urged the Michigan legislature to abolish the state law that dates back to 1931 to ensure that women maintain the right to abortion, as reproductive rights rights activists panic that the nearly 50-year-old precedent in Roe v. Wade could be in jeopardy. Michigan’s abortion law has not been enforced because of the 1973 Supreme Court decision.
