AG Carter wins round 1
Indiana Attorney General Stave Carter’s efforts to force Planned Parenthood to turn over records on female patients under the age of 14 is moving forward:
Marion County Superior Court Judge Kenneth Johnson sided with the Indiana attorney general’s office in its quest to examine the medical records of 84 young patients.
However, the state said it will not press the matter and seek the records until all appeals have run their course.
“It would be our intent to wait until the process has worked itself through,” said Staci Schneider, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Steve Carter.
Planned Parenthood tried to stop the seizure, arguing that investigators were on a “fishing expedition,” possibly to identify the partners of sexually active 12- and 13-year-olds. None of the 84 patients has received an abortion, according to Planned Parenthood.
