West Virginia abortion bill sent to conference committee
The measure to align West Virginia law with the Supreme Court ruling on abortion moved to a six member conference committee after the House rejected Senate amendments in a narrow 18 16 vote. The Senate bill would require abortions in hospitals during the first 13 weeks and allow later abortions only to prevent death or injury. Senator Odell Huffman called the move bitter yet necessary to comply with the court, while Senator Li Galperin criticized the hospital based restriction as unconstitutional and costly for rural access. Senate Judiciary Chairman Mario Palumbo warned the measure imposes the severest restrictions compatible with the ruling.

Black miners show drop in West Virginia coal jobs
West Virginia's black coal workers have fallen from about 55 percent in the early 1900s to 7 percent today. The state Human Rights Commission received 26171 from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to study employment practices in deep and surface mining. The commission warns that if trends continue, the black presence in mines could vanish in three decades as older miners retire and few young Negroes enter the industry.
