But she did report it....

to the dirtbag media. HIPPA Laws...

[JohnBovenmyer]

Reporting it to the media, without proper consent, would violate HIPPA laws. BTW, HIPPA, for the majority who've forgotten, started out at part of Hillarycare. The only part of it to NOT be voted back out, after voters revolted against the rest. So if she were charged with HIPPA violations she'd essentially be charged with breaking abortion rules Hillary wrote!

But what I think Indiana is looking into isn't penalties for reporting without HIPPA blessing, but rather for failure to follow the states mandatory reporting rules. All, or at least most, states have groups of people whom are by their law mandated to report certain things if they learn of them or even the possibility of them. Child abuse is high on those lists. Rape (which would statutorily include any sex between a child that you and an adult) would certainly be included. The mandatory reporter is not to do further investigating themselves, that's up to the state, but they must report. They can't be penalized for reporting, at least not if done in good faith, but they can be penalized for failure to report. Any wish of the patient to NOT be reported is irrelevant. Allegedly this abortion doctor has a track record of not reporting in the past.

Was immigration trying to hide it?

[joesbucks]

She properly reported it. And if parents are ok with the med information release, no HIPAA was broken.
