Reply to comment by [deleted] in Indiana medical board sets doctor's hearing in abortion case by Thetimmybaby

Why are you asserting that there is no public need to disclose information about this case?

This is the real world impact of recently passed legislation that dramatically impacts the public.

Well we can start with the fact that most of the information the doctor was given in this case, which she then released to the public was incorrect. Then we can talk about how further restriction of information could have protected the patient. Why disclose age? Why disclose race? In this case the doctor saw a way to use the details of their patients case to score political points. Details that upon investigation turned out to be false. She rushed to use her patient's suffering to further her political agenda using false information. To think that is a perfectly fine thing to do? No. Nope. No.

The Indiana state AG stated that there was nothing in the law that would have prevented services being conducted in Indiana. The mother made no attempt to get services because she was attempting to cover up for her boyfriend, who after the doctor published the article went on the run and was later captured. I love how the idea of "don't publish the details of your patient's cases in a newspaper oped" somehow means we can't do medical research anymore, and this isn't about a violation of HIPAA law it's a question of "is it ethical to punish the details of a patient's case jeopardizing a child welfare investigation, in order to score political points?".

You just can't stand that a 10 year old wasn't forced to carry her rapist's baby to term? You want to punish the frontline workers who are seeing the true victims of these bullshit restrictions on our healthcare and who dare to speak out about it?

Why does it matter that she was 10 you asked? It matters because in her home state, under the current draconian laws pushed by the right, she'd be forced to carry that baby to her mental and physical detriment. Keeping her from school, leaching her bones of calcium--she's not even grown. Do you even know what pregnancy does to a fully grown woman's body?

This is the reality that people like you wanted and you should have to fucking read about it in the news.

You need to relearn how to identify patient information versus general case study information.
