An Indiana doctor has dropped a lawsuit that aimed to halt the state's attorney general from investigating her after she provided an abortion to a 10-year-old Ohio child who was raped.
Lawyers for Dr. Caitlin Bernard of Indianapolis voluntarily nixed the lawsuit filed last month against Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita, according to court filings Thursday. The lawsuit argued Rokita's office was wrongly justifying the investigation with "frivolous" consumer complaints submitted by people with no personal knowledge about the girl's treatment.
But Welch also ruled Dec. 2 that Rokita wrongly made public comments about investigating Bernard before he filed the complaint with the medical board. The judge wrote Rokita's statements "are clearly unlawful breaches of the licensing investigations statute's requirement that employees of the Attorney General's Office maintain confidentiality over pending investigations until they are so referred to prosecution.
DeLaney also said in a statement Thursday that their focus has shifted to the complaint with the licensing board and they will continue "defending Dr. Bernard and her medical license against Rokita's baseless attacks." Kelly Stevenson, a spokesperson for Rokita's office, said Bernard withdrawing the case is "further confirmation that she was putting her political agenda above the privacy and safety of her 10 year old patient."
