Rokita is seen here speaking in Indianapolis in 2021.Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita made national headlines in 2022 when he criticized a doctor who provided an abortion for a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. In doing so, he also violated two rules governing attorney conduct, according to the Indiana Supreme Court.
"I think that if the attorney general, Todd Rokita, had not chosen to make this his political stunt, we wouldn't be here today," He also doubled down on his statements about Bernard, repeating them anew and saying,"As I said at the time, my words are factual." "His public statements should reflect that fact and we expect a prompt and sincere apology to Dr. Bernard," DeLaney said in a statement to NPR.
