Virginia's first law limiting abortion rights in more than two decades is
now in effect.
In Roanoke yesterday, Judge James Turk granted an injunction that blocked
the law requiring pregnant teenagers to notify their parents before an
abortion.
But last night Judge Michael Luttig of the Fourth U-S Circuit Court of

Opponents of the law say its wording is too vague.
