(LifeNews) — A Kansas judge has issued a decision recommending to higher federal courts that a request by the ACLU to stop a law that prevents state Obamacare health exchanges from funding abortions not be allowed.
The magistrate judge denied the ACLU request for a temporary injunction to halt the law. The state legislature approved, and pro-life Gov. Sam Brownback signed, a law that makes it so no state or federally administered health-insurance exchange in Kansas that is established under Obamacare can fund abortions at taxpayer expense. That has Kansas following several other states in exercising their right to opt out of abortion funding in the Obamacare law, which has numerous loopholes allowing it.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kenneth Gale requested the injunction request saying the ACLU did not show sufficient reasons to explain how it or its members would be harmed by the law staying in place. “[T]hat the Act will impose “financial difficulties” on some members is not a conclusion to which the Court can subscribe without further support,” he wrote.
The ruling is a recommendation to U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown, who makes the final decision on the injunction request. The Associated Press indicates the ACLU has until September 26 to respond and present a written rebuttal to Judge Brown.
