Regardless of the type of person that wants to have sex with their daughter, is there really any serious consideration being given to overturning the Incest laws in this country?

No, none. The rules against first cousins marrying have changed over the years, though. While that was once considered to be incest, it is no longer in a lot of states, where first cousins can marry if they wish. Other states prohibit such marriages, and there is an active effort to reform those laws, particularly since current research shows very little increased risk of birth defects in first cousin matings.
But other incest? Nah...nobody's working on changing that legislation. It's still not enforced, except when a child is involved, though.
