“The court further concludes the balance of hardships weigh strongly in favor of granting the stay, given the acute need of healthcare providers, prosecuting agencies, and the public for legal clarity as to the application of our criminal laws,” presiding Judge Peter Eckerstrom wrote on Friday. Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson had granted a request by the Arizona’s Republican attorney general to lift the injunction that had barred enforcement of Arizona’s pre-statehood ban.

The office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said it will “carefully review” the court’s Friday ruling before determining its next step.Democrats in the Arizona legislature called on the state’s Republican Governor Doug Ducey to call a special session to repeal the total ban.
