Abortion activist and doctor Caitlyn Bernard has been reprimanded by fine and letter by Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board for violating HIPAA by discussing a 10-year-old patient who was sent to her from Ohio for an abortion last July.
The story that Bernard shared while at an abortion march with an Indianapolis Star reporter was repeated around the world. The subsequent fallout from Bernard’s loose lips was a media frenzy to identify the child and make sure the rapist was punished. The child’s family was identified shortly after and found to be living with the illegal alien rapist, Gerson Fuentes.
The board will fine Bernard the maximum fine of $1,000 for each of the three counts of violating patient privacy laws and will send her a letter of reprimand following an administrative complaint filed by Indiana’s Attorney General Theodore “Todd” Rokita.
What came out in the hearing in front of the board is definitely new information including that Bernard may even have a tattoo of a hanger that says “Trust Women” somewhere on her body. Bernard was widely criticized for being an activist and using a 10-year-old rape victim to push a pro-abortion narrative after the fall of Roe and Casey. Bernard’s lawyer did not allow the tattoo question to be answered. The state’s attorney did an excellent job at the hearing outing Bernard for her role in the debacle.
“Isn’t it true that if you were quiet about your patient and did not push this narrative about [Indiana’s] special session [regarding abortion] that you wanted to give to the media that we wouldn’t be sitting here today?” state attorney Cory Voight asked Bernard.

“No, I don’t think that’s correct,” Bernard responded. “I think that if the attorney general Todd Rokita had not chosen to make this his political stunt, we wouldn’t be here today.”
Bernard’s excuse is farcical. Of course, she wouldn’t be in that hearing if she had never disclosed a confidential medical situation to reporters. No one would have known. It’s not Rokita’s fault that she spoke to reporters and spilled the beans, endangering the safety and privacy of her patient.
Yeah, Biden and the media were making abortion hay until that came up, along with some curiosity about the situation at that home (hinting at a human trafficking operation). Then it dropped off the map.
“How did this girl get sent back to her home for 5 days?” John Strobel, MD, of the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, asked Bernard.
“I think the challenge is that realistically there are many situations in which people live with their perpetrator long after the abuse occurred,” Bernard said, noting that the decision belonged to the Department of Child Services. “Luckily, that is not a decision that I as a physician have ever had to make. I can’t imagine how difficult that that must be.”
endangering the safety and privacy of her patient.
The intent of the abortionist was political but the end result? Justice was brought to light.
What a mess..... none of these idiots should be here. They are the dregs of El Salvador or Guatemala. Imagine living with the man who raped your 10 year old daughter. No big deal in effin Guatemala I suppose.
so they are mad at her for exposing the illegal alien rapist. alrighty.
Would there not have been an obligation for her to report the rape of a 10-year-old child to the police?
This country has turned into a freak show.
Much more to come.
She’s a mandatory reporter in Indiana.
She had to report the abuse to someone.
The board may be infuriated that instead of reporting it to someone who’d keep in quiet, which Indiana law can allow, she reported it to someone who gave a damn.
Looks like every country is shipping out their dregs and discards into United States via open borders. Biden & democraps love millions of future democrap voters.
Right. So I don’t understand why some here say she should’ve just shut up. WTF?
Abortion activist and doctor Caitlyn Bernard has “reporter” status when doing an abortion on a young female. Her crime was not reporting the rape of the 10 year old to the authorities. Thus, post abortion, this child was sent back to live in the same home as her rapist and her family.
After all the uproar, within 5 days, this child was removed by the police and placed elsewhere safe. Far from her scumbag rapist, who I hope is in jail awaiting trial.
Caitlyn Bernard doing this abortion. I have no problem with this,
Caitlyn needs a beat down.

Given a chance, the child whom she killed would probably disagree with you.
