(CNN)An Indiana doctor who said she recently helped a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio get an abortion in her state reported the procedure to Indiana health officials within a required timeframe, documents show, as the state's Republican attorney general has said authorities are investigating the Ob-Gyn for potential failure to report the abortion and child abuse. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, of Indianapolis, reported the abortion procedure to the Indiana Department of Health on July 2 -- two days after it was performed -- as required by the department, documents CNN obtained from the agency show. The young girl was raped in early May, and police in Columbus, Ohio, were first alerted to her pregnancy June 22, police documents and court testimony indicate. Bernard helped the 10-year-old after Ohio banned abortion as early as six weeks of gestation following the US Supreme Court's ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, she told CNN earlier this month. A little more than a week after the ruling, the girl underwent the procedure in Indiana, and emerging details of it have galvanized US officials on both sides of the abortion debate.
A Columbus, Ohio, man was charged this week with raping the girl, according to court proceedings CNN obtained through affiliate WBNS.
Attorney General Todd Rokita is investigating whether Bernard reported the abortion and abuse, as required by state law, he said Thursday after announcing the inquiry a day earlier on Fox News. In Indiana, an abortion procedure performed on a person younger than 16 must be reported to the state's departments of health and child services within three days after it is performed.

What about that 11 year old from Ona, West Virginia who was raped by her dad and the abortion clinic in Charleston, West Virginia DID NOT REPORT IT? Why was that clinic never held accountable?
I believe the documents also show she reported the rapist to be just 17YO. There’s a thread somewhere here on FR
Mein Gott, ten year old rape vic from an illegal. Is the child gonna be on the cover of Life with Greta? Strange is it not how Marxists parade kids like weapons? Not so strange?
It was the mom who reported the rapist to be 17 years old. Can’t blame the doctor for running with it.
What’s interesting is the 6 weeks and 3 days line. It suggests the discovery could have been within the 6 week period where she could have been treated in Ohio. ‘Waiting’ 4 days-a possibility? How does one confirm 3 days? The date of the rape does not come into question?
Mom said...how interesting. Before this is all over that kid just might be in foster care.
But did she report it to the police?
Her baby won't be in foster care.
It is becoming clear the reason the girl was taken to this particular abortionist was to hush things up. The rape enabling mother did not count on her daughters rape being politically beneficial to democrats.
Says here the doctor reported the rapist as 17YO

Cool. Doesn’t say she reported the ages.
