- That's an unrelated issue. If South Carolina law requires abortion
- providers to report to police alleged incest cases brought to them,
- then I suppose there's probably a penalty for failing to comply with
- that law.
-
- So, tell us if Mr. Margolis's guess is really wrong -- what percent of
- abortion providers have been spared punishment under this law because
- it wasn't enforced?
