Indiana's Republican AG says he's investigating doctor who helped 10-year-old rape victim get an abortion
CNN
Indiana's Republican attorney general said Thursday that authorities in his state are investigating -- for potential failure to report child abuse -- a doctor who said she recently helped a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio obtain an abortion in Indiana, even as the attack already had been reported by the girl's mother and Ohio police were investigating.
Attorney General Todd Rokita first made the announcement Wednesday on Fox News.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis-based Ob-Gyn, told CNN earlier this month that she helped the girl after Ohio banned abortion as early as six weeks of gestation following the US Supreme Court's ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. The young girl was raped in early May and police in Columbus were first alerted of her pregnancy on June 22, according to police documents and court testimony. A little more than a week later, the girl underwent an abortion in Indiana.
