That the forced birthers are ready to consign these little girls to the dust heap (or the cemetery) is just disgusting. |

Two years later Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita finally stops his unhinged persecution of the doctor in this case.

Conservatives don't care about women or girls. We are expendable to them, and conservative women are in serious denial. |
Then why did the Indiana AG spending two years and thousands of taxpayer dollars going after the doctor who treated her, who I think we can all agree was neither the rapist nor the mother? It’s almost like…and stay with me here…they are trying to intimidate and scare doctors from legally treating raped children? But that can’t be right? |
No, it certainly can't be because they claim in matters of health, rape and incest. They are all hunky-dory |
The article above says he sued the doctor for violating her privacy? Not for treating her? Can someone clarify. I have not been following this. |
There is nothing to follow. The AG is big mad that some B itch helped a poor brown girl who was probably a hussy. |
Claims were that she should not have spoken out about this, and it was a violation of HIPAA. She claims that she did not provide an PII about the patient so she didn't violate it, which is true. They settled with from now on all such cases should be handled by the hospital's PR team. Basically the AG wanted to punish the doctor for speaking out. This was there way to shut her up. |

You see, these kinds of cases don't happen. Nobody is trying to keep 10 year old girls pregnant and carrying to term. You know how you know? Because nobody talks about it. Also, you can't talk about it. Easy peasy. |

The physician was cleared of violating privacy rights by the hospital's own internal investigation a long, long time ago. This is not about the facts of the matter for the Indiana AG, but about making sure these cases don't get discussed -- it's about the chilling effect. And it has had a chilling effect, just not necessarily the one he was going for. The OB/Gyn had to hire her own 24/7 security, and the residents training with her watched all this happen. https://www.npr.org/2022/08/15/1117605629/ob-gyn-residents-want-to-quit-in-indiana-after-states-abortion-law-harassment Their mentor was attacked. Now young OB-GYNs may leave Indiana
If you are put in an impossible situation as a provider, it's not like the country has an overabundance of trained clinical practitioners. You can work somewhere else where you are needed just as much but also left free to do the job you were trained to do, without having to hire security. Without hoping there will be someone to give good legal counsel at 2am, and without wondering if you are going to be able to do the job you were trained to do. This is what red states are facing. |
It’s the perfect crime! Just a few thousand broken little girls every year across the country. If we don’t talk about them, they don’t exist. Perfect! |
