Rokita Drops Lawsuit Against IU Health
News summary

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has dropped his lawsuit against IU Health, which he filed alleging the hospital system violated privacy laws relating to a 10-year-old rape victim’s abortion case. This decision follows a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Matthew P. Brookman, who found the case lacking factual basis and dismissed it. Despite the dismissal, Rokita claimed the lawsuit was a victory for patient privacy and healthcare providers. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the physician involved, was previously disciplined by the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, though medical experts and IU Health’s internal investigation disagreed with the findings. The case had garnered significant media attention, with Rokita facing criticism for his aggressive stance. The dismissal was seen as a win for Hoosier taxpayers by Rokita's political opponent, Destiny Wells.
