Indiana doctors sue to protect abortion patients’ health information

Two Indiana OB-GYN physicians, Caitlin Bernard and Caroline Rouse, filed a lawsuit to stop the Indiana Department of Health from releasing terminated pregnancy reports, claiming they should be exempt from disclosure under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act.
The Indiana Department of Health decided not to release individual terminated pregnancy reports after a near-total abortion ban, opting for quarterly aggregated reports instead.
In January 2025, Indiana Governor Mike Braun issued an executive order declaring the reports public, leading to a settlement with an anti-abortion group to release the reports with redactions.
Bernard and Rouse stated, "Everyone receiving medical care deserves to have their personal health decisions and pregnancy outcomes protected," emphasizing the need to protect patient privacy.
