Dr Caitlin Bernard, 37, was also named on an anti-abortion website linked to Amy Coney Barrett before she became a high court judge, the Guardian reported.
Bernard chose to stop working at a clinic in South Bend after learning of a threat to kidnap her daughter, she said last year while testifying in a case over Indiana’s abortion restrictions, the Guardian reported Friday.
Bernard was also among a list of six abortion providers named on the website of an anti-abortion group called Right to Life Michiana.
Bernard was making the 2.5-hour trip to South Bend once a month for first-trimester abortions when she learned of the threat against her child, she testified.
Bernard became the focus of controversy this month when the Indianapolis Star reported its account of how it received a call from a “child abuse doctor” in Ohio three days after the Supreme Court issued its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade .

The Ohio doctor told her about a 10-year-old girl who was six weeks and three days pregnant and needed an abortion. The girl underwent a medical abortion on June 30.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, has said he will investigate Bernard’s actions, but has not indicated any specific wrongdoing.
Gerson Fuentes, 27, was charged in Columbus, Ohio with raping the girl.
