    Doctor who performed abortion for a 10-year-old rape victim moves to
    sue Indiana AG for defamation

    Dr. Caitlin Bernard -- the Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist who
    provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio after the
    state outlawed the procedure for pregnancies past six weeks -- has
    filed a notice that she intends to sue Indiana's attorney general for statements he made about her on Fox News.

    In a letter to Indiana AG Todd Rokita dated Tuesday, lawyers for
    Bernard informed Rokita of the filing, which by law triggers a 90-day
    period for the state to respond to the so-called tort claim seeking
    damages for reputational harm and emotional distress. At that time,
    Bernard could file a lawsuit against Rokita for defamation.

    Three days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which
    prompted a statewide ban in Ohio on abortions after six weeks of
    pregnancy, Bernard received a phone call from a child-abuse physician
    in the Buckeye State whose 10-year-old patient was six weeks and three
    days pregnant.

    I mis-read the title as "Doctor Who performed abortion."

    That was an episode I must have missed!

    Well, "the Doctor combats foes, works to save civilisations, and helps
    people in need."
