The attorney general called Bernard an \u201cabortion activist acting as a doctor\u201d and also wanted the board to suspend Bernard\u2019s license, but they refused to do so, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Attorney General Cory Voight spoke to the board and argued Bernard committed an \u201cegregious violation\u201d of patient privacy by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indystar.com\/story\/news\/health\/2022\/07\/01\/indiana-abortion-law-roe-v-wade-overturned-travel\/7779936001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sharing<\/a> details about the child\u2019s situation with the media. Also, Bernard\u2019s failure to report the child abuse immediately to police or Indiana\u2019s child protective agency resulted in \u201ca child returning to live with her rapist for five days in Ohio,\u201d Voight said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cEveryone \u2013 the country \u2013 learned about her patient.

She insisted she had followed Indiana\u2019s reporting requirements, notifying an Indiana University Health social worker and confirming the child abuse was already being investigated in Ohio, where the girl lived.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard\u2019s legal team argued that she did not give identifying information about the girl to the Indianapolis Star reporter who wrote the initial story about the 10-year-old\u2019s abortion. She and her legal team emphasized that Bernard did not expect the story to go viral in the way it did.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why she had shared details of the girl\u2019s situation with the reporter, Bernard said, \u201cI think that it\u2019s incredibly important for people to understand the real-world impacts of the laws of this country about abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Aftermath<\/h3>\n<p>The 10-year-old traveled to Indiana from Ohio for the abortion\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2023\/05\/25\/caitlin-bernard-indiana-abortion-rape-victim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">less than a week<\/a> after the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in June last year.
