Indiana abortion doctor who spoke out about child rape victim can keep license

Medical board rules Dr Caitlin Bernard can continue practicing after discussing case of 10-year-old who travelled for abortion

The Indiana state medical board has ruled that it will allow Dr Caitlin Bernard to continue practicing in Indiana after she spoke out about a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to Indiana for abortion care due to restrictions in the girl's own state of Ohio.

The doctor will not lose her license, although the seven-person board ruled that Bernard violated patient privacy laws in discussing the 10-year-old's case with media. Bernard was not found to have violated reporting requirements about child abuse in the case - another charge against her.
