Last month, the Arizona's Supreme Court ruled 4-2 that the law, which dates back to before Arizona gained statehood in 1912 and was codified in 1913, was legally enforceable after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, rejecting claims that Arizona's more recent 15-week abortion ban was intended to invalidate it.

The decision meant that abortion was set to become illegal in the Grand Canyon State for any reason except when allegedly "necessary" to save the life of the mother. Direct abortion is always gravely immoral and never needed nor ethically justified to save a mother's life.

Hobbs and Arizona's Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes vowed not to enforce any of the state's abortion restrictions, while the ruling elicited national outrage from the abortion lobby as well as criticism from Republicans who feared it might impact their political popularity, including former President and presumptive GOP White House nominee Donald Trump, US Senate candidate Kari Lake, and Fox News primetime personality Sean Hannity.
