U.S. Judge Won't Stop Fla. Abortion Law

A federal judge Thursday refused to stop enforcement of a new Florida law requiring doctors to notify parents 48 hours before performing an abortion on a patient under 18.

U.S. District Judge William Stafford, rejecting a temporary injunction against the parental notification law, said opponents failed to show they had a good chance of winning a constitutional challenge.

The lawsuit challenging the law - filed last month by the Center for Reproductive Rights and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America - will be argued later.

We'll live to fight another day," said Janet Crepps, an attorney for the New York-based Center on Reproductive Rights.

Your victims won't, Babylon.
