After the 1-hour hearing, South Carolina's Attorney General Charlie Condon said that the Clinton Administration had already forced MUSC to stop clandestine drug testing. But the state Supreme Court's decision giving the fetus legal protection through child-endangerment laws allows officials there to prosecute women who endanger their unborn babies. However, attorney Smith said that several women who were arrested got no treatment, and some were taken out of their beds bleeding and in pain from childbirth.
