Indiana board reprimands and fines Dr. Caitlin Bernard after she spoke publicly about an abortion for a 10-year-old rape victim.
Indiana's medical licensing board on Thursday issued a letter of reprimand and levied a fine against the obstetrician-gynecologist who provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. The board concluded thatThe decision followed a lengthy meeting of the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, which ultimately found Bernard violated state privacy laws when she discussed the 10-year-old's case with a reporter for the Indianapolis Star.
Bernard told the board that she was not pushing a narrative about abortion when she spoke publicly, but instead believed it was important for Indiana residents to know that abortion could be banned in the state with no exceptions after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, forcing patients seeking abortion care to travel out of state.
Bernard said she did not believe she would be facing the licensing board if the attorney general"had not chosen to make this his political stunt."
