I'd been very suprised if the ACLU wasn't all over this but, I doubt that they will stop it. Just think about your argument against discrimination: Do men need insurance for abortions?
I'm also sure that all States have regulations on what insurance companies can and can't do. It will be hard to argue that this particular law is intrusive on insurance companies rights. Insurance companies will probably see this as a money maker.
