Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : "The evidence and testimony from last week's hearing confirmed that Dr. Bernard complied with all reporting requirements, cooperated with law enforcement officials, and discussed a case example only in a de-identified way, within the bounds of applicable privacy laws.
48% : "Local law enforcement authority" is defined as either a police chief or a county sheriff.
47% : "Law enforcement agency" is defined merely as "a governmental agency or department whose principal function is the apprehension of criminal offenders."
44% :The word "local law enforcement agency" is not defined.
44% : His complaint notes that Bernard "submitted a terminated pregnancy report" and emailed the department of child services in Indiana that the "case was already reported through DCS in Ohio.""At no time prior to the 3:59pm email on July 2, 2022, did Respondent [Bernard] notify local law enforcement in Indiana or DCS concerning the possible child abuse she learned of on or before June 27, 2022," the complaint alleges.
44% : Generally, as the above-referenced statute notes, it is the job of a team of social workers in an institutional health care setting to make the required reports of child abuse; each individual staffer, including each individual doctor, generally don't make the reports directly.
39% : He now claims his actions against Bernard are not about abortion.
