They are so relentless in going after abortion providers for providing, literally, life-saving medical care, that they don’t care who they hurt or how much they have to lie. But that’s Indiana Republican politics for you. I had to live there for more than 20 years. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Not so far as I’ve seen, but the identity–and photo–of the Indiana doctor who treated her has been broadcast by Fox News: Fox News has a _lot_ to answer for. She literally did nothing wrong. Abortions at six weeks are not illegal in Indiana. She filed her paperwork in a timely fashion. This is nothing more than an attempt to put a hit out on her.
