The one-source story was provided to an Indiana news outlet by Indianapolis OBGYN Caitlin Bernard, who said a doctor in Ohio contacted her about the case
The account asserts the unnamed girl, who lives in Ohio, was forced to seek an abortion in Indiana after her home state barred abortion following the decision
The dramatic anecdote has been widely shared since - primarily as a talking point by the left to lambaste last month's ruling
On Friday, the president himself referenced the story, using it to help push an executive order that would protect abortions in the wake of the decision
Detractors cite how Bernard did not name the doctor who contacted her about the incident, nor the city where the child was located
Others have pointed out that Bernard is a prominent abortion advocate, citing a slew of posts on her social media
