The lawsuit targeting Attorney General Todd Rokita was filed Thursday in Marion County on behalf of Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist, her medical partner, Dr. Amy Caldwell, and their patients.

After the news of the 10-year-old’s abortion broke, Rokita told Fox News he would investigate whether Bernard violated child abuse notification or abortion reporting laws. He alsowhether anything Bernard said to The Indianapolis Star about the girl’s case violated federal medical privacy laws. Rokita offered no specific allegations of wrongdoing.

Bernard’s lawsuit asks a court to issue temporary and permanent injunctions to block Rokita from starting or conducting an investigation of a consumer complaint “without first making an initial determination that the consumer complaint has merit.” The suit names as defendants Rokita and Scott Barnhart, the chief counsel of the state attorney general’s office and also director of its office of consumer protection.

This poor girl has had a difficult enough time. Why does the gop continue to torment and torture her? Why do they hate women so much they need to punish them in difficult and traumatic times. Vote these people out. VoteBlueIn2022

It was a made up story. Never happened

Why Republican AGs are dangerous in this political climate. Just like in Ohio, they push legal boundaries if not flout them altogether.

Indiana doctor sues AG to block him from obtaining patient abortion recordsIn a new lawsuit, Dr. Caitlin Bernard says Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has sought health records for her patients, including a 10-year-old rape victim she treated. Jesus Christ. The poor kid was molested and ended up pregnant, and GOP wanna go after the people who helped her.😡 It’s insane how badly Republicans want to force children to give birth. Republicans are truly disgusting people.

Indiana abortion doctor sues to stop Todd Rokita from accessing private medical recordsAn Indianapolis doctor thrust into national news on abortion is suing to stop Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita from obtaining medical records. Rokita is a despicable sad excuse for a human being! a total waste of carbon and oxygen. So false complaints can be filed and the AG can use them to try to obtain medical records for people other than those who filed the complaints? Scary. 'Abortion doctor' is terrible phrasing for an obstetrician-gynecologist. I don't call my mechanic 'the oil change guy.'
