It's the first step toward a possible defamation lawsuit against Rokita.
INDIANAPOLIS — An attorney representing Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the Indianapolis doctor who performed an abortion for a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio, has filed a tort claim notice against Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita.
Records showed Bernard properly filed the termination of pregnancy report after she performed the abortion.The girl traveled from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion after Ohio implemented the"Heartbeat bill," which does not allow abortions in the state after six weeks of pregnancy. In Ohio, a 10-year-old who becomes pregnant is, by definition, a rape victim, but the state's abortion law does not make exceptions for rape and incest.
According to Indiana Code, doctors are required to submit the report within three days after the abortion if the patient is under 14.
