This is why we heave a communal cry of grief when we learn of situations like the one shared this past week when Indiana abortionist Caitlin Bernard, MD, MS, revealed to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indystar.com\/story\/news\/health\/2022\/07\/01\/indiana-abortion-law-roe-v-wade-overturned-travel\/7779936001\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indianapolis Star<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that she\u2019d treated a 10-year-old Ohio girl who\u2019d become pregnant due to rape, after a colleague from that state contacted her due to a perceived abortion limitation in Ohio state law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story was shared by mainstream media and was discussed by politicians and pundits on social media. It made waves, to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We now know the story is true, and Dr. Bernard chose to violate a little girl\u2019s privacy after a sexual assault, an appalling example of her character as a clinician. While we grieve with this girl we also must acknowledge that when it comes to abortion, we are weighing the balance between two human lives, so while our protective response is appropriate it must be tempered by seeking the truth, which can sometimes seem insensitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people demanded answers regarding this story before information about her abuser was released, but expecting a child to be violated in order to satisfy a need for answers should never be an option. Instead, questioning the motives of the physician who possibly broke the law by disclosing information about the sexual assault of a child, can prove to be as valuable \u2014 because she is more than just a doctor caring for her patients. Dr. Caitlin Bernard has filed at least one <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dockets.justia.com\/docket\/indiana\/insdce\/1:2019cv01660\/94202\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lawsuit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the past, challenging Indiana anti-abortion legislation. She has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/indianapublicmedia.org\/news\/house-committee-passes-unproven-and-unethical-abortion-reversal-bill.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">testified<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at legislative meetings regarding abortion pill reversal \u2013 claiming a law requiring her to tell patients reversal is possible would be unethical, citing a discontinued study which supposedly proved the reversal protocol was dangerous (it\u2019s not- <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aaplog.org\/about-us\/aaplog-board\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Donna Harrison<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shares the real reason it was discontinued in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/issuesetc.org\/2019\/12\/06\/3403-a-national-public-radio-story-about-the-testing-of-and-abortion-reversal-drug-dr-donna-harrison-12-6-19\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THIS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> interview).

She is a political activist who also happens to be a physician.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And she is not the only one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, Amy Addante, MD, MSCI, an OBGYN who specializes in reproductive health (i.e., abortions) shared a claim that one of her patients was held hostage in a pregnancy resource center. Her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dramyaddante\/status\/1379253637705261056?s=21&amp;t=5EdTGf11erKiNjKZDhJneg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter thread<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was almost 5,000 words long \u2014 over twice as long as a typical news related article (800-1200 words). Because it was a Twitter thread, there was no pushback; no fact checking from any major media source. Portions of the thread were shared tens of thousands of times, not including screenshots which made their way onto Facebook. As quickly as the thread rose to prominence it sunk into obscurity. At least online \u2014 we have no way of knowing how many people were influenced by her unverified \u2014 and unverifiable \u2014 story. Dr. Addante is also not just a physician, but an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prh.org\/updates\/meet-our-advocates-dr-amy-addante\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abortion activist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

When I originally wrote this post, the sole confirmation for Dr. Bernard\u2019s story was a pro-life source working within the Ohio state child protection system who indicated to me an arrest may be imminent. The delay was most likely caused in an effort to keep the girl\u2019s identity from being discovered. When a child is involved, it can sometimes take time for the arrest to reach public record. This story turned out to be true after all, but it\u2019s no wonder some were doubting it: the credibility of pro-abortion physicians has been incalculably damaged.

The sacrifice will be worth it to them, because ultimately: it\u2019s about dead babies, no matter what.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>*<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embedded links reference pregnancy complications for adolescent patients, rather than pre-adolescent, due to the rarity of pre-adolescent pregnancy, particularly in developed countries like the US.
