The lawyer for an Indiana doctor who has found herself at the center of a political firestorm after revealing the story of a 10-year-old girl who traveled from Ohio for an abortion says her client provided proper treatment.

said Thursday that her client provided proper treatment and did not violate any patient privacy laws in discussing the case.Attorney Kathleen DeLaney issued the statement on behalf of Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist Caitlin Bernard the same day Republican Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said his office was investigating Bernard's actions.

DeLaney said they are considering taking legal action against"those who have smeared my client," including Rokita. Apparently in response, he released a"legal explainer" detailing the law's medical exceptions. Abortion rights advocates and attorneys said the law's medical exceptions - for the life of the mother, dire risks of bodily harm and ectopic pregnancies - would not have protected an Ohio doctor who performed an abortion for the girl from prosecution.
