Indiana AG Todd Rokita has asked the Indiana Medical Licensing Board to look into whether Dr. Caitlin Bernard violated any professional standards after providing an abortion to a 10-year-old girl from Ohio earlier this year.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has asked the Indiana Medical Licensing Board to look into whether Dr. Caitlin Bernard violated any professional standards after providing an abortionfrom Ohio earlier this year.The complaint says that Bernard violated patient privacy laws by sharing the girl's story with IndyStar and failed to immediately report to Indiana authorities the abuse and rape that led to the girl’s pregnancy.
Alleging that Bernard shared the girl’s story “to further her political agenda,” the attorney general office’s complaint says that doing so violated the law as well as medical professional standards. “Simply concealing the patient’s name falls far short of her legal and ethical duties here,” a release from the attorney general’s office said.AG's office, Dr. Bernard's attorneys spar over patient privacy in first lawsuit hearing
Bernard's lawyer said in a statement that the doctor had fully complied with the law and referred to the complaint as"a last-ditch effort" to intimidate Bernard and other abortion care providers. "Though I am disappointed he has put my client in this position, we are not surprised given Mr. Rokita's consistent efforts to use his office to seek to punish those with whom he disagrees at the expense of Indiana taxpayers," said Bernard's attorney, Kathleen DeLaney of DeLaney & DeLaney LLC., questioned the veracity of Bernard’s account saying that there was not a ‘scintilla of evidence’ that the girl existed.
