Federal Judge Denounces Trump Appointee’s Extremist Views on Contraception and Gay Rights in Denial of Request to Pause Mifepristone Lawsuit

A federal judge in West Virginia has denied a request from Republican officials to pause a lawsuit from a maker of mifepristone. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, had failed to disclose two interviews on a Christian radio show where he discussed his extremist views on contraception and gay rights. The case is now pending at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and questions have been raised about Kacsmaryk's impartiality and ability to make unbiased rulings.
