Because it was an actually an arrest under this law that led to the SCOTUS decision ruling these laws to be unconstitutional.

So removing it from the state’s legal code is a pre-emptive action in anticipation of Project 2025 in the wake of Thomas’ comments after Dobbs (he specifically called out Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell to be re-examined using the same arguments in order to overturn them all).
He knows how to use the seashells.
