In Indiana, the doctor who recently provided abortion care to a 10-year-old rape survivor from Ohio is moving to sue Indiana’s Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita for defamation. Last week, Rokita appeared on Fox News and falsely accused the doctor, Caitlin Bernard, of having a “history of failing to report” abortions to the state. The lawsuit alleges Rokita made the false statement as part of an effort to “heighten public condemnation of Dr. Bernard, who legally provided legitimate medical care.”
