Injunction on abortion law lifted
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA - A federal judge yesterday lifted a five-year-old injunction that had prevented Pennsylvania's restrictive abortion law from taking effect.
A state spokesman said parts of the law could take effect immediately.
U. S. District Judge Daniel Huyett III lifted a ban after a week U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter rejected an appeal by abortion providers.
"As the attorney general has said, enough is enough," said Robert Gentzel, spokesman for Attorney General Ernie Preate Jr.
Jacquelyn Brinkley, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania, one of the plaintiffs, declined comment yester-
day, saying she hadn't seen the order
The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals had ordered Huyett to lift the injunction after Souter's ruling.
The law requires women to receive counseling about alternatives to abortion and then wait 24 hours before undergoing the procedure. Unmarried women under 18 must get permission from a parent or a judge.
Huyett delayed implementation of the law in May, saying abortion rights advocates deserved a chance to prove their argument that it posed an "undue burden" to women seeking abortions.
He also imposed an injunction on the law in 1988 when abortion providers first appealed the Abortion Control Act.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals rejected a final appeal on Jan. 14, ruling that the law must go into effect before it can be challenged under the undue burden standard.
it ordered Huyett to lift the injunction within a "reasonable" time period. Souter upheld the appeals court ruling three days later.
Some parts of the law will take effect immediately and "it should take a matter of days" before all provisions are enacted, Gentzel said.
Huyett's order yesterday prohibits the state from enforcing part of the original law which would have required married Pennsylvania women to notify their spouses before ending a pregnancy. The appeals court and the Supreme Court both rejected the spousal notification provision.
EXPENSES: Costly classes empty wallets

"I spent over $200 for books," he said. "I bought a $70 brand-new law book, and we will only use 10 of the 40 chapters. It has been more than I anticipated. I have one semester left, and I'll have to make some money this summer."
Betsy Goss, assistant professor of business, said that the best way to keep book costs down was through the publishers but that the school was willing to loan books to students who could not afford them.
"If a student is in financial trouble, we can lend them whatever (books) they need," she said.
Amy Rose, Overland Park graduate student in education, said she spent $350 on textbooks and supplies this semester.
In addition to the expense of buying books, engineering majors pay a $15 per credit hour fee.
Galen Suppes, assistant professor of engineering, said he didn't like to have students buy books that cost more than $90.
"This semester it's a big chunk of money since I didn't have a scholarship," she said.
"There are far more important things to consider when selecting books, such as if it is a good learning aid for the subject," he said.
Susan Bergstrom, Belleville graduate student in health services administration, said she was taking eight credit hours and spent $210 on books this semester.
"I have a four-year-old son, and I have to prioritize things in my life," she said. "Recreation, eating out and buying new toys are low on my list, but school is a top priority."
KU student reports sexual assault Friday Kansan staff report
An 18-year-old KU student reported being sexually assaulted by two men outside a party she attended Friday night, the Lawrence police reported.
Police Sgt. Rick Nickell of the Lawrence police said that the woman reported she went outside a party at the Kappa Sigma fraternity, 1045 Emery, around 11:30 p.m.
The woman told police that, after leaving the fraternity, two unidentified men sexually assaulted her but ran off when other people walked by, Nickell said. No arrests have been made.
Most women deny risk of STDs
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — American women are in a state of denial about their risk of getting one of the 13 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases reported every year, a new survey indicates.
The survey said that 84 percent think "it won't happen to me," even if they're at high risk. The survey was released yesterday by women's health advocates who urged the government to educate people about sexually transmitted diseases just as it has about AIDS.
"We don't merely want tracking of the problem," said Joan Kuriansky of the Campaign for Women's Health. "We want action and prevention."
Sexual diseases are at epidemic levels, with 13 million non-AIDS infectetions each year. One of the most dangerous, syphilis, is at its highest level in 40 years.
Women get sexual diseases more easily than men, experience more severe complications and often go undiagnosed until permanent damage is done. As a result, more than 1 million get pelvic inflammatory disease, become infertile or develop life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
Yet the institute last year discovered most federal funding for treating sexual diseases goes to 4,000 special clinics where two-thirds of the patients are men.

IF YOU THINK WAR IS HELL YOU SHOULD SEE IT IN WINTER
War is Hell, but in winter it's worse. Right now, victims of war in the former Yugoslavia are suffering a second, deadly winter. Bosnia's cruel tragedy -- its murder, its sickness and its hunger -- has been doubled by severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel.
Now is the time to help. The University of Kansas Hillel Foundation is inviting friends of all faiths to join us for BosniAid : An Evening of Hope. Uniting with campuses around the world, we will raise awareness about Bosnia's tragedy and contribute to humanitarian relief funds for all its victims.
