Virginia's newest abortion law is on hold -- for now.
Federal Judge Robert Payne in Richmond issued an injunction today that would keep the ban on so-called "partial birth" abortions from becoming law July first.
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
In a 97 page opinion, Judge Payne writes:
"The term 'partial birth abortion' is a term coined by legislators, anti-abortion activists, and the media. It has no accepted medical meaning."
[SUPER=03-Richmond;]
Judge Payne seems to accept the abortion doctors' argument that the law is worded too vaguely, and could apply criminal sanctions to other routine abortion procedures.
He writes:
"...the Act's 'chill' on the physicians' ability to perform the medically appropriate method of abortion in this manner would result in a less safe performance of an abortion for the patient."
[SUPER=03-Richmond/June 17;]
Attorney General Mark Earley issued only a brief statement, promising an immediate appeal.
Earley says he'll continue to "stand with the people of Virginia" who he says favor the law.
