Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is withdrawing the state from several high-profile abortion cases, as well as other national cases regarding job discrimination based on sexual orientation and the separation of church and state.

It’s the second time Nessel has shifted the course of the attorney general office’s resources so far, reversing decisions made by her predecessor, Republican Bill Schuette. Nessel, a Democrat, directed her office to withdraw from four federal lawsuits challenging Environmental Protection Agency rules earlier this month.

Nessel announced Thursday she is withdrawing Michigan from eight federal cases.

“As Michigan’s Attorney General, I will not use this office to undermine some of the most important values in our state, including those involving reproductive rights and the separation of church and state," Nessel said in a statement.

Four cases regard women's rights to an abortion. Two of them have been marked by Planned Parenthood as potential challenges to the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights case -- Pre-Term Cleveland v. Himes and Garza v. Azar.

Pre-Term Cleveland v. Himes challenges an Ohio law that allows a doctor to ban abortion if they suspect a fetus has Down syndrome. Garza v. Azar is a class-action case filed by the ACLU against the federal government after pregnant, unauthorized immigrant minors were initially prevented from getting abortions while in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

EMW Women’s Surgical Center v. Glisson would close the only abortion provider in Kentucky over technical deficiencies in its hospital and ambulance service agreements, and Planned Parenthood of Ohio v. Himes regards an Ohio law revoking funding from abortion providers for unrelated federal health care programs.

Nessel is also removing the state from a case out of Missouri, Horton v. Midwest Geriatric Management, in which a St. Louis company withdrew a job offer in 2016 after learning the applicant had a same-sex partner. A U.S. district court had dismissed a discrimination claim under a 1980s interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, stating lesbian, gay and bisexual people aren’t protected from job discrimination.

Three of the cases Nessel withdrew the Michigan from involve the separation of church and state:
