INDIANAPOLIS — Attorney General Todd Rokita wants the state Medical Licensing Board to punish Dr. Caitlin Bernard for telling a reporter about a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio who traveled to Indiana for an abortion after the procedure was outlawed in her home state last summer.
Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician/gynecologist, was thrust into the national spotlight shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade after she was quoted in Indianapolis media about an abortion she was performing on a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. The girl traveled to Indiana for the procedure after abortions later than six weeks of pregnancy had been outlawed in the child's home state.
"Only Indiana authorities could have possibly stopped this little girl from being sent home to endure possible future harm by her alleged rapist," Rokita's office said in the news release. “The Administrative Action filed today by Mr. Rokita is clearly a last-ditch effort to intimidate Dr. Bernard and other providers of abortion care," DeLaney said in a statement."Mr. Rokita is doubling down on the frivolous consumer complaints by referring them to the licensing authorities."
