Doctor Who Spread Story About 10-Year-Old’s Abortion Disciplined For HIPAA Violation: REPORT

 

The story originated from Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist who claimed the girl couldn’t legally obtain an abortion in her home state of Ohio. The story came under scrutiny given its single-source nature and Bernard’s history of pro-abortion activism, but an unnamed source has purportedly corroborated the story and revealed new details about the repercussions the doctor is now facing, according to Fox.

 

A 10-year-old Ohio girl did travel to Indiana for an abortion, a source familiar with the situation told Fox, but it remains unclear whether she was actually forced to cross state lines or was simply referred to the Indianapolis clinic after Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said she would have been allowed to have an abortion in the state. Bernard’s employer is disciplining her for violating HIPAA, the federal law protecting patients’ sensitive medical information, for sharing the child’s story publicly.

The more important news in this case is that they arrested the person who raped her. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ohio-man-charged-with-raping-10-year-old-who-was-forced-cross-state-lines-2022-07-13/

An Ohio man?

The mother of the child is saying the man did nothing wrong.  You will need a translate program, but apparently the mother is saying he is innocent.

Sounds like he came in illegally when Obama was in office.

Well, someone got her pregnant and I'm not sure I trust the word of a mother whose child got impregnated at age 9. Someone raped her, and DNA will tell us if it was Fuentes or not. But Fuentes supposedly admitted to it - why would he do that if he was innocent?

I tend to agree, and hopefully the prosecutor can prove it fully.

So the original reporting was dragged because there was a single source (now corroborated) but now there appears to be a single source (not yet corroborated) for the story that the doctor who disclosed that a non-specified child had an abortion is now being disciplined for a HIPAA violation? Where is the outcry that there has been no corroboration of that? 

 

And that child needs to find a safe place to live. Clearly the mother is not providing one. 

 

Also, the true horror here is twice over -- first child rape, and second, that a child would need to leave her own community to access necessary healthcare. Ohio's AG is saying the child would be able to obtain an abortion, but the law doesn't provide for an exception for rape. And Ohio lawmakers have said that age doesn't automatically trigger the "health of the mother" exception. The risk has to be both substantial AND irreversible. Is the risk to the health of a 10 year old forced to bring a pregnancy to term "irreversible" even if could be substantial? How long would it take to determine that for THIS pregnant child? Every day that goes by with courts and lawmakers trying to figure that out is another day she is being traumatized.

 

The fact that the accused rapist is here illegally is probably the least awful part of all of this. We need to focus on the needs of this victim. It doesn't matter if she was raped by someone who entered illegally or by a billionaire born in the USA. It's a distraction, and a crime is a crime, and this child has been traumatized. It doesn't make it "more worse." The media is trying to distract you from the actual story: child rape resulting in pregnancy happens not infrequently in Ohio (I saw a report today that 52 abortions were performed on children 15 and under in the state in the year 2020. That's one a week. The numbers of reported  child sexual assault in the state are astoundingly high. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2022/07/13/ohio-abortion-sexual-violence-statistics-show-disturbing-likelihood-of-children-being-impregnated/

 

That's the story. Not whether doctors trying to help a child in a medical emergency because of a wrong-headed law that is too vague to let them know if they are at risk of prosecution did or did not comply with HIPAA. The people who want to defend these outrageous laws are trying to distract you from the brutal truth of what the laws do in real life. I have a 9 year old stepdaughter, who will be visiting next week. She is a child. An intelligent, precocious child who speaks like a little adult sometimes, but she is a child. I think what if this had happened to her and she couldn't get an abortion and I want to punch and kick and tear things up. All of the promise in this little being would be forever affected, over and above the trauma of sexual assault. 9 months of her body changing way before she was ready, way before she made a choice to be a parent. We at least have the benefit of her living in the UK so we can get her judgment-free care if she needed it. We also have a loving, caring family to support her, and we also have the benefits of our socioeconomic status. Children like our daughter are always going to have safe and legal options to preserve her dignity and self-determination.

 

Think of a 10 year old you know. Think of how desperate you would be to help that child as a caregiver.

So the Dr. using this child as a political tool is not an issue?

Pretty sure DNA already convicted him.  But yes, he also admitted to it.  Two instances.

Sadly the UK is in no position to be looked on favourably, the Telford report was recently issued. 

 

Quote

 

More than 1,000 children were abused by sexual grooming gangs in Telford during decades of failings by police and authorities.

An independent inquiry found that rape, sexual abuse, brainwashing, drugging and other crimes had “thrived unchecked” in the Shropshire town since the 1970s. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/telford-grooming-gang-children-abused-b2121490.html

 

 

 

And one of many similar scenarios where there was a complete and utter failure by the authorities. Deliberate in this case.

 

Perhaps I have seen too many nasty stories but it would not surprise me if there was a connection between the Mother and the Ohio man.

 

This should not happen but it does on an industrial scale. 

 

This is a classic example of why I dislike the media and politicians, pick the elements that support your cause and ignore those that do not.

I hope that they hit her with the entire HIPAApotamus.  No excuse for that.

[LIBrty4all 3,754]

Well, the doctor who failed to report the rape should lose HER license, as well.

Can we agree then that we have enough scumbag rapists of our own in the US and don't need to introduce more of them into our society via illegal immigration?

 

We might not prevent the American born billionaire rapist in your scenario, but this was 100% preventable. This isn't a distraction to talk about the rapist scumbag being here illegally, it's an important part of the story. It's possible to have concern for the child and at the same time be concerned about the failures that led to this crime. This criminal act didn't just happen on the day of the rape, this began the day he set foot in the US illegally.

Considering this guy came here seven or so years ago (not sure if he has been in this household the entire time) when this girl was 2 or 3, it seems like it could be a classic case of grooming.  Sick.
