Women seeking an abortion will now have to comply with a 24-hour waiting period.
It's all part of a new Virginia law that takes affect today.
And for abortion providers it also means they are now required to give the women printed material from the state --24 hours before the procedure. [TAKE News 7 at 5 into MB SET MONITOR]

But as Health Check Reporter Joy Sutton tells us -abortion providers are having problems complying with the law.

That's right Jean,
That's because the state has NOT sent out any printed materials at this point.
So, if a women requests to see the information --she will have to postpone her abortion.
Planned Parenthood says this is one more reason the government should not interfere with doctor-patient relationships.
