Caitlin Bernard, the Indiana abortionist who committed an abortion on a 10-year-old girl rape survivor, has been disciplined by the state Medical Licensing Board, which found that she violated the young girl’s privacy by talking to the media.<\/p>\n

After a 14-hour hearing<\/a>, the board ruled that while Bernard did not violate laws regarding the reporting of abuse, she did violate the girl’s privacy by talking to the Indianapolis Star about the abortion. Due to the split decision, Bernard will be formally reprimanded, but she will keep her medical license. She has also been fined $3,000.<\/p>\n

Bernard, who has been accused<\/a> of covering up child rape in the past, notified the media about the child’s rape and abortion before she told state authorities about the crime, according to records<\/a> in the case. She also incorrectly listed the rapist’s age as 17. Previously, Bernard was part of a group of nine abortionists who received consumer complaints for failing to report child sexual abuse 48 times \u2014 and some of the victims were as young as 12.<\/p>\n
