INDIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL CANDIDATE DESTINY WELLS RESPONDS TO DISMISSAL OF TERMINATED PREGNANCY REPORT LITIGATION
INDIANAPOLIS—Today, Indiana Attorney General Candidate Destiny Wells responded to the decision from Marion County Superior Court Judge Timothy Oakes, a Republican, to dismiss the “Voices for Life” litigation seeking to make Terminated Pregnancy Reports (TPRs) public, which could reveal private medical information.
"The dismissal of this case is a win for medical privacy,” stated Destiny Wells. “Hoosiers are done with Todd Rokita’s blatant waste of taxpayer dollars.”
The lawsuit’s dismissal comes after Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita publicly accused the Indiana Department of Health and Indiana’s Public Access Counselor for “collusion,” and subsequently issued a non-binding advisory opinion saying terminated pregnancy reports are public records. Todd Rokita’s blatant use of the Office of the Attorney General to politick for a lawmaker running for Congress is the subject of ongoing ethics complaints.
