Federal judge rejects injunction against Florida parental consent law Krista-Ann Staley at 9:02 AM ET [JURIST] US District Judge William Stafford rejected an injunction against Florida's new parental consent abortion law Thursday.

The state maintains, however, that the law takes such situations into consideration. AP has more. Link |
