Indiana Attorney General Files Lawsuit Against Hospital System for Violating Privacy of Ohio Girl Seeking Abortion

Indiana's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against the state's largest hospital system, accusing it of violating patient privacy laws by allowing a doctor to publicly share the story of an Ohio girl who traveled to Indiana for an abortion. The doctor's account became a focal point in the abortion debate following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The lawsuit alleges that the hospital system failed to protect the patient's information and violated federal and state privacy laws. The hospital system maintains that the doctor did not violate privacy laws and criticizes the attorney general's pursuit of the case.
