The suit, Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, was filed by the anti-LGBTQ hate group, the Alliance Defending Freedom.
A ruling is expected shortly from US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Texas. Before being nominated by Trump, Kacsmaryk worked for the anti-LGBTQ hate group, the First Liberty Institute.
Last month Kacsmaryk advanced a challenge to the right to access contraception.
