An Indiana doctor who recently provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim has sent a cease and desist letter threatening legal action against Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita. That comes after Rokita suggested without providing evidence that the doctor may have failed to report the abortion as required under state law.
Documents released to NPR and other media outlets by the Indiana Department of Health on Thursday confirm that Dr. Caitlin Bernard had indeed reported the abortion in a document filed with the state on July 2.

Based on his previous remarks, I suspect the DA will have a few more incidents of “foot in mouth”.
It’s pretty bad when multiple local and national news agencies have no difficulties getting a copy of the report through FIOA requests to torpedo his statements.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Total DORK! Makes me ashamed to be from Indiana when State Republicans use anything for political gain.
..."The girl's story became the focus of widespread attention and political debate after Bernard discussed it with The Indianapolis Star in a story about patients crossing state lines to obtain abortions in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's June 24 decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Bernard said the girl had traveled from Ohio, where a trigger ban prohibiting most abortions had just taken effect."
