NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The doctor who provided an abortion for a 10-year-old rape victim filed a lawsuit against the Indiana attorney general, claiming his office overreached in trying to access her patients’ files.
Dr Caitlin Bernard and her partner, Dr Amy Caldwell, are suing Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita to end his investigation into their practice.
In July, Bernard made national headlines when she revealed she treated a 10-year-old rape victim who had to travel across the border from Ohio to receive an abortion.
The victim was referred to Bernard’s practice in Indianapolis by a child abuse physician in Ohio. They worried that she would not receive care at an in-state facility, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in June.
