ACLU Forced to Drop Challenge to Kansas Law Regarding Insurance and Abortion Coverage

The following article discusses ACLU dropping their challenge to Kansas law which PROHIBITS private insurance coverage for abortions in their general plans except when a woman's life is in peril. Any Kansas resident who desires an abortion is now required to purchase a supplemental policy aka. rider, or pay for the abortion out of pocket.

The ACLU was forced to drop the case after the judge declared that their was insufficient evidence that the legisltaure's predominant motivation in passing this law was to make it more difficult for women to obtain an obortion.

If that was not the predominant motivation was not to discourage women from obtaining an abortion, than what was the motivation!?!?
