Ind. Decisions - More on the Planned Parenthood records decision

This ILB entry from Dec. 1st quoted from an Indianapolis Star story of that date reporting that "On Thursday, representatives from Planned Parenthood and Carter's office signed a settlement agreement worked out after a Sept. 22 Indiana Court of Appeals ruling said a minor's right to privacy trumps the state's desire to search for evidence of abuse."

This Star interview today is titled "Five questions for Betty Cockrum." Oddly, the online version does not include the introductory paragraphs to the questions that appear in the printed edition. For instance, the online version gives no identification of who Betty Cockrum is. The intro to the printed edition identifies her as "president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood," gives some background to the lawsuit, and ends with:

On Thursday, [AG Carter's] office and Planned Parenthood signed a settlement agreement that essentially says everyone accepts the appeals court rulng and Carter won't ask for a review by the Indiana Supreme Court.
