The Spin

The court's decision is judicial activism at its worst, seizing legislative authority by declaring unenforceable a valid law that has been on the books since 1849 without any explicit legislative action to repeal it. This rationale completely opposes the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, which returned abortion authority to the people and their elected representatives, not to state courts to make policy decisions that belong in the legislature.
