A federal magistrate judge has scheduled a trial next year in a lawsuit challenging a Kansas law restricting insurance coverage of abortion.

The tentative Jan. 7, 2013, trial was set in a revised scheduling order handed down Friday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Kenneth Gale in the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.

U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia in Kansas City, Kan., is now presiding over the case. It was reassigned after the previous judge, U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown, died last month at age 104.

The Kansas law bars insurance companies from offering abortion coverage as part of general health plans in the state. Anyone wanting abortion coverage must buy a rider that cover only that procedure.
