Federal judge Wesley Brown denied a request to block a Kansas law restricting abortion coverage in general health plans. The ruling found no proof the law was designed to obstruct abortions and allowed the suit to proceed with an expedited schedule. The measure bars coverage unless the woman's life is at risk, requiring riders for abortion services.
