TL;DR Summary

An Indiana doctor, Caitlin Bernard, faces a disciplinary hearing after speaking publicly about providing an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. Indiana's Republican attorney general accused Bernard of violating state law by not reporting the girl's child abuse to Indiana authorities and breaking federal patient privacy laws by telling a newspaper reporter about the girl's treatment. Bernard and her attorneys maintain that the doctor followed Indiana's child abuse reporting requirements as the girl's rape was already being investigated by Ohio authorities. The Indiana board could vote on whether to impose any penalties Thursday after hearing several hours of testimony.
