A federal judge in Richmond has issued an injunction that would keep Virginia's newest abortion law from taking effect July first.
Unless overturned on appeal, Judge Robert Payne's order today stalls the new ban on so-called "partial birth abortions."
Payne set an August 18th trial date on the law's Constitutional merits.
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Richmond;]

In a 97-page opinion, Judge Payne seems to agree with abortion rights advocates that the law is too vague.
The Judge writes:
"If abortion doctors were subject to criminal prosecution under the Act, they would be forced to choose between performing abortions as they currently perform them with the best interest and safety of their patients in mind, and changing their practices, and, therefore, depriving patients of their right to receive the safest method of abortion."
[SUPER=03-Richmond/File Tape;]

Attorney General Mark Earley says the state will immediately appeal.
Earley says the law is supported by an overwhelming majority of Virginians.

Attorney Karen Raschke (RASH-kee) says the ban would tie the hands of doctors from performing the safest procedures.

[SUPER=03-Richmond/VCU Video;]

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is traced to the body's excessive production of insulin.
The excess insulin sets off a hormone imbalance that interferes with ovulation.
But the study published in this week's New England Journal of Medicine says treatment with the common diabetes drug, Glucophage, may hold the answer
Until recently doctors offered few treatment options.

The Raptors traded Marcus Camby for Charles Oakley. For 10 years Oakley has symbolized the physical style of the New York Knicks. The 34 year old Oakley is a 13 year veteran of the N-B-A.
Camby has been troubled by injuries in his two years with the Raptors and never has lived up to expectations. Toronto selected the U-Mass star with the Number one pick in the 1996 draft. He averaged 12 points and seven rebounds and a league leading 4 blocks per game last season. But he only played in 63 games.
