Indiana’s attorney general said on July 14 that he’s investigating whether the doctor who first made public that a 10-year-old girl who was raped in Ohio and received an abortion in Indiana reported the crime.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard was named as the source of a July 1 story by the Indianapolis Star. Bernard told the paper that she was contacted by a child abuse doctor in Ohio who had a 10-year-old patient and that the patient was pregnant. The article suggested Bernard, who performs abortions, performed an abortion.
