Anti abortion amendment adds budget ban in South Carolina
The South Carolina House approved a budget amendment banning funding for any hospital or clinic that provides or performs abortions on demand. The measure excludes abortions to save a life, and could affect public hospitals reliant on state funds and federal Medicaid matching. Hospitals warn of catastrophic impact on indigent care.

Senators grill Condon about hirings
Condon faced two hours of questions from the Senate Finance Committee about hiring private lawyers for South Carolina cases including the tobacco lawsuit and an environmental suit against an Atlanta pipeline firm. He offered to relinquish control of selecting private counsel and has moved three ending cases in house. A bill would require approval from key committees before any private attorney hires.

Judge cites false testimony and deals in South Carolina case
The judge said Fields gave false testimony and that the state allowed deals with witnesses. Westerdahl denied prosecution arrangements with witnesses and Fields denied talking to a key state witness. Blackburn's co defendants Crosby and Davis received parole help and had charges reduced, while Plebones rejected Westerdahl and Fields claims as unsupported against overwhelming evidence of deals.
