Dr. Caitlin Bernard has threatened to sue Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita for 'false and misleading statements' he made after she provided a medication abortion for the girl from Ohio.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita was sent a"cease and desist" letter last week asking him to stop making what an attorney for Indiana abortion provider Dr. Caitlin Bernard describes as defamatory statements. Rokita's office responded that"no false or misleading statements have been made.
"Statements that Dr. Bernard has a 'history of failing to report,' which Mr. Rokita indicated would constitute a crime, made in the absence of reasonable investigation, serve no legitimate law enforcement purpose. Given the current political atmosphere in the United States, Mr. Rokita's comments were intended to heighten public condemnation of Dr. Bernard, who legally provided legitimate medical care," the letter reads, in part.
The next day, Indiana health officials released a document in response to records requests from NPR and other media thatRokita's claim, demonstrating that Bernard had reported the procedure on July 2. In that report, Bernard said she'd provided a medication abortion to a 10-year-old abuse victim on June 30, who was approximately six weeks pregnant.
