The lawsuit claims the attorney general launched 'overbroad' investigations' based on 'frivolous' consumer complaints
with "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell in July, Bernard couldn't confirm she provided the abortion due to privacy laws, but state records confirmed that she did, and her suit filed Thursday references her "providing abortion care to this patient."
Bernard's lawyers said they are aware of at least five subpoenas issued by Rokita's office, but believe there could be more as they're being sent to the entities that may have medical records. "A majority of the complaints we receive are, in fact, from nonpatients. Any investigations that arise as a result of potential violations are handled in a uniform manner and narrowly focused," Stevenson said in a statement to CBS News. "We will discuss this particular matter further through the judicial filings we make."
Seven people filed the consumer complaints against Bernard between July 8 and July 12, according to the suit, days after she was revealed as the doctor who performed the abortion on the Ohio girl. Many were submitted by people who did not purport to live in Indiana, and all said they saw news stories or social media posts about Bernard's patient.
