KORNER FARM 50 Each Bring Crate Fill your locker Call 855-1190 Corner of Duggan Rd. & Hwy. 234, Sams Valley Present Virginia law allows sterilization only for medical necessity - disease or certain types of mental illness. Sponsors of the new mea sure said physicians should have legal protection to steri lize patients who wish to cease having children. The new law exempts physicians from civil suit as the result of a volun tary sterilization. Several physicians testified at public hearings in the legis lature that they had sterilized many women who wished to cease bearing children. One physician said one of every 27 women who gave birth in his hospital later asked to be steri lized. Chief opposition to the meas ure came from Roman Cathol ic organizations which con tended the proposal violated natural law against mutila tion. State Sen. John A. K. Don ovan, attacking the bill on the senate floor, said Virginia would become the first state to permit sterilization without cause.
