A pregnancy that ends with nonviable products of conception is an abortion. It may be a spontaneous abortion, it may be a therapeutic abortion, but it's an abortion !PERIOD!

INDIANAPOLIS — After Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita threatened to go after the license of an Indiana physician who provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio, documents obtained by FOX59 through a public record request proved the physician not only filed a terminated pregnancy report but filed the report within the required timeframe.

The terminated pregnancy report, obtained by FOX59’s Angela Ganote, shows that Caitlin Bernard, an Indiana obstetrician-gynecologist, reported the abortion on July 2, two days after the abortion was performed and within the three days required for terminations to be reported to the Department of Child Service and the Indiana Department of Health.

Bernard publically shared the story of the 10-year-old rape victim’s abortion in an interview with the Indianapolis Star earlier this month. The 10-year-old girl had been impregnated when she was raped by a 27-year-old in Ohio and traveled to Indiana to get an abortion due to Ohio banning abortions after six weeks following the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

Bernard’s attorney sent the following statement:

“My client, Dr. Caitlin Bernard, took every appropriate and proper action in accordance with the law and both her medical and ethical training as a physician. She followed all relevant policies, procedures, and regulations in this case, just as she does every day to provide the best possible care for her patients. She has not violated any law, including patient privacy laws, and she has not been disciplined by her employer. We are considering legal action against those who have smeared my client, including Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, and know that the facts will all come out in due time.”

Is the witness trying to propose that operations to remove ectopic 'conditions' shouldnt be considered an abortion thus putting lifesaving procedures back in the medical kit bagout of reach of the barbarians?

Is the questioner attempting to deny that little sliver of common sense?

What?

Who are these people?

I know this is a standard thing lawyers say. But it's a poor choice of words when they're saying their client complied with medical privacy laws that explicitly PREVENT facts from coming out.

I believe the girl's family can waive them...and screw the pubs in the process.

Indiana Senate Republican leadership proposed a bill Wednesday that would ban all abortions except in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother is in danger, a proposal that if passed would make Indiana one of the states with the greatest restrictions against abortion.

The proposal of a near-total ban on abortion was a surprise for many, conservatives and progressives alike. Speculation had been that lawmakers would introduce less severe restrictions, such as a ban set at 6, 12 or 15 weeks, when they convene for a special session on July 25.

If the ban passes, Indiana will be one of eight states with an abortion ban at zero weeks, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Unlike Indiana's proposal, however, most others do not allow for exemptions for rape.

Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville, said Wednesday as he announced the proposal that abortion was "arguably the most difficult, polarizing issue that we've faced in a generation." He said his caucus spent considerable time debating where to land on the restrictions and proposed exemptions and considered the perspectives of constituents on the "two sides" of the issue.

Decisive Vote Protecting Abortion Rights In Kansas Confirmed In Recount

A decisive statewide vote in favor of abortion rights in traditionally conservative Kansas was confirmed with a partial hand recount, with fewer than 100 votes changing after the last county reported results Sunday.

Nine of the state’s 105 counties recounted their votes at the request of Melissa Leavitt, who has pushed for tighter election laws. A longtime anti-abortion activist, Mark Gietzen, is covering most of the costs. Gietzen acknowledged in an interview that it was unlikely to change the outcome.

A no vote in the referendum signaled a desire to keep existing abortion protections and a yes vote was for allowing the Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban abortion. After the recounts, “no” votes lost 87 votes and “yes” gained 6 votes.

Eight of the counties reported their results by the state’s Saturday deadline, but Sedgwick County delayed releasing its final count until Sunday because spokeswoman Nicole Gibbs said some of the ballots weren’t separated into the correct precincts during the initial recount and had to be resorted Saturday. She said the number of votes cast overall didn’t change.

This is why we should heavily tax the rich. Too much money allows people to cause too much trouble.
