Indiana AG still harassing the doctor who gave a 10-year-old rape victim life-saving medical care [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-09-19

Indiana's AG Todd Rokita, apparently searching to punish a doctor for offering critical medical care to a 10-year-old, has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Caitlin Bernard and the healthcare organization she works for. Rokita alleges Bernard violated her patient's privacy in part by including limited information in a complaint against Rokita for harassing medical doctors.

The snake is really eating its tail here, Rokita could get this privacy violation out of the national news by dropping his complaint — but what he really seeks here is to harass a doctor. Remember this all starts with Republicans wanting to deny a 10-year-old the care she needs after being raped. They wanted to force a 10-year-old to carry the baby to term.
