Republican Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita was reprimanded by the state's Supreme Court for his remarks about an abortion doctor who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim who had to flee Ohio to get treatment, Reuters reports.
The court ruled that Rokita made a comment in a July 2022 Fox cable propaganda network that Dr. Caitlin Bernard was "an abortion activist acting as a doctor" after it was revealed that she performed the abortion on the girl, who had to seek an abortion in another state after doctors in Ohio were too afraid of legal repercussions after Republicans in the state passed an oppressive abortion ban.
Curiously, all five justices on the court wanted to punish Rokita, but the three-judge majority opted for a formal reprimand. The other two would have opted for a more severe punishment. Rokita released a statement claiming victory, saying the case was brought by "liberal activists" who "hate the fact that I stand up for liberty."
