Robert- According to the July 1 story in the Indy Star (the original source for the story) Dr. Caitlin Bernard an Ob-Gyn at IU Health, received a call from a colleague in Ohio who is a child abuse specialist. This colleague had a 10 year old in the office who was just over 6 weeks pregnant and in need of an abortion. Soon after this conversation, the child was sent to Indianapolis for an abortion, under the care of Dr. Bernard.
“Under the care of Dr. Bernard” implies that either she or someone under her supervision, like one of her residents, performed the abortion. So, according to reporting done by the Indy Star, Dr. Bernard is a primary party to this story. She was contacted by a colleague in Ohio about the case and the girl was sent to Indianapolis under her care.
Tonight on Fox News, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that he is going to be scrutinizing Dr. Bernard’s medical record to see if he can challenge her medical license. He wouldn’t be doing that unless she is a primary party to the abortion.
My condolences on living in Indiana. My family and I recently moved back to Chicago after living in Indiana. The only good thing about Indiana is Indiana University Bloomington where my daughter graduated.
I hope your daughter enjoyed her time at IU, Sue. It's a fine school and Bloomington is a good place. But the odd thing about living in Indiana, as I have for most of my life now, is that despite the politics, the people are generally kind and the land--especially below Indy--is beautiful. I don't talk politics with my neighbors.
No way, really?!?! I believe you sue, but my god how awful. They are really going to look into the doctors here and not at their laws? What a shameful way to approach the problem.
Yes, really. The investigation is being done under the guise of seeing if she followed the Indiana child abuse laws. That is simply a cover for going after her because of the abortion.
And, keep in mind that abortion is currently legal in Indiana until 22 weeks. That will soon change as the Governor has called an emergency legislative session in order to severely curtail or end legal abortion.
Expect to hear more horror stories and see more witch hunts in this post Roe world.

I bow to your superior argument, Sue.
Nice to see AG Rokita acting true to form. I live in Indiana, and take comfort in the predictability of its politics.

Go Hoosiers!

She loved her time at IU and she got a great education. IU is an under appreciated gem. And, Bloomington is a great town for young adults.
