Using the word "timing" implies that the ACLU deceived the public about the circumstances behind the pregnancy or why she wanted one, like saying she was not so far along or lying about her immigration status. Instead, Sessions is just mad he was outsmarted by some slick Yankee lawyers.

His statement at the end of the article says it all.

"I don't believe that we should be using taxpayers’ dollars to fund abortions and I think in this case, it certainly was not justified," he said. "We've resisted it steadfastly and I'm very disappointed that these lawyers were able to take the client around the law to avoid a court hearing at least to see that we were filing."
