Doctor convicted after 1984 abortion of 13 year old Sprague
The doctor was convicted 90 minutes after the abortion of a 13 year old Sprague, with the infanticide verdict cited as a message to doctors. Assistant District Attorney Andrea Foulkes voiced gratification, while Rep. Steve Freind called the law meaningful despite being struck down in parts. The judge set Sept 19 for hearings on a new trial or arrest of judgment, with sentencing delayed pending post trial motions.

Coal miners walk out in southern West Virginia
Up to 10000 coal miners walked off the job in southern West Virginia and threatened a nationwide wildcat strike after a rally where UMWA President Richard Trumka urged miners to rise up. The protest followed 1600 Pittston miners on strike in West Virginia and Virginia, with a Virginia judge jailing three union leaders and fining the union over 3 million dollars for contempt and related charges.
