-
- Your question is really two questions.
-
- 1. Do I know of an abortionist who cared enough about a "young woman"
- (say, aged 14) to ask how she got into the mess she was in?
-
- No.
-
- 2. Do I know of a young woman, or the relative dragging her in, telling
- an abortionist that this was an incest case without being asked?
-
- No.
-
- The Buffalo story, however, implies a Yes answer to one or the other
- of these questions, and now that I have a clearer picture of what
- SC law says, I will pursue this lead.
