The ruling does not repeal the territory-era abortion law, but instead adds the 15-week abortion ban approved by Governor Doug Ducey earlier this year to the law.
— Gov-Elect Katie Hobbs December 31, 2022 Attorney General Mark Brnovich previously asked courts to enforce Arizona's territory-era abortion law, which was reinstated after a Pima County judge ruled to lift an injunction in late September. The back and forth created confusion for Arizonans, lawmakers, and abortion providers alike, with many still wondering which laws and bans were in effect and what would be enforced.
Earlier in October, many abortion providers said they were resuming services in Arizona. This came just days after an emergency stay was granted temporarily blocking the enforcement of a nearly complete ban on abortions.

The court will also look at whether the lower court's injunction complies with the Prison Litigation Reform Act, a 1996 federal law that places restrictions on lawsuits brought by prisoners.
