But when it came to the state’s Indiana Commission for Women approving the winners, Dr Bernard’s name had “not approved” written next to it, reported The Indianapolis Star. Dr Bernard, a leading obstetrician-gynaecologist, faced a Republican backlash over the abortion case, which took place shortly after the Supreme Court dismantled Roe v Wade and was then reprimanded by the state’s medical board. Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board determined that Dr Caitlin Bernard – who provided care for the 10-year-old patient who travelled from Ohio to obtain legal access to abortion – had violated patient privacy laws by speaking to a reporter about the case. When the Star asked why Dr Bernard had been removed from award consideration, the Indiana Civil Rights Commission said it was due to her case that went before the Medical Licensing Board.
