IN: Attorney General Todd Rokita issues advisory opinion on terminated pregnancy reports

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita on Thursday called out the Indiana Department of Health and Indiana Public Access Counselor for “collusion” and issued a non-binding advisory opinion saying terminated pregnancy reports are public records.

“You have a right to sue the state of Indiana. That’s the bottom line. You have a right to these documents,” he said during a Facebook Live event. “And no unelected bureaucrat can tell you otherwise.”

Rokita issued the opinion in response to a request from Huntington Republican Sen. Andy Zay. Zay inquired about the documents after a change in procedure the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) instituted in December.
