Aug 14, 2024, 02:38 PM

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has dropped a lawsuit against the state's largest hospital system, which accused it of violating patient privacy laws. The case involved a doctor who disclosed to a newspaper that a 10-year-old girl from Ohio had traveled to Indiana for an abortion. The lawsuit, which had been ongoing for two years, was centered around the privacy concerns related to the disclosure of the girl's case. Despite dropping the suit, Rokita claimed a 'victory' in his campaign against the hospital. The doctor has been exonerated after being described as brave for caring for the young victim.
