Court overturns abortion law based on judges' 'personal preference'
Majority, all leftists, exhibit a 'jaw-dropping exercise of judicial will,' in order to upend a 'duly enacted law' that they don't like

Wisconsin Supreme Court
A majority of the judges on a state supreme court's bench have exercised what has been determined to be their "personal preference" to overturn a "duly enacted" law banning abortion.

The details are documented a report at the Federalist, which pointed out the minority dissent in the case before the Wisconsin state Supreme Court noted even judges are supposed to follow the law, even if they don't like it.

The report explained, "In a decision deemed judicial activism and a 'power grab' by pro-life and judicial experts, the leftist-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday to nullify the Badger State's longstanding law barring abortion."
 
The 4-judge majority claimed "the legislature impliedly repealed" an 1849 law that made abortion a felony. There was no specific repeal.

It sounds exactly like when John Roberts single handedly approved Obamacare by declaring it a tax when no taxes were ever mentioned previously,

To be fair, Roberts did not approve Obamacare.  He simply ruled that as a tax, it would first have to go into effect before its Constitutionality could be challenged.  And had that challenge come, it is likely that Roberts would have ruled against it.  Unfortunately, the challenge never came.  Our Republican legislators support Obamacare just as much as Democrats.

So which judge(s) knocked up who on the side?

This is just the fulfillment of a campaign promise. These judges were elected.

Maybe so. But that still didn't answer my question.
