It’s more confusing than that.
Ducey says here that he signed a law into effect in 2022 allowing abortions up to 15 weeks.
If so, why is that not now the law instead of the 1864 law prohibiting it entirely there?

I don't know the details, but I would suppose that the legislature didn't know about the 1864 law or it would have included language in the 2022 law to repeal the 1864 law?

In the case of two conflicting laws, which one has precedence: the older law or the newer law? I guess the court decided it was the original law, but I don't know the details.
