Planned Parenthood Abortionists
Use Videoconferencing to
Dispense Abortifacients by
Remote Control
By Dave Andrusko
Sometimes
an article is so well written,
so thoroughly researched that
commenting on it at any length
risks you not availing yourself
of the opportunity to read it
for yourself. Such is a story in
Sunday's Des Moines Register,
"Faraway doctors give abortion
pills by video."
There are tons of ins and outs
to this riveting story written
by Tony Leys –questions of legal
obligations, safety, and
"efficacy"--but the first four
sentences brilliantly set the
stage:
"Small Planned Parenthood
clinics around Iowa are using a
remote-control pill-dispensing
system to make abortions
available in areas where few
doctors offer them. The
first-in-the-nation system
allows a Planned Parenthood
physician from Des Moines to
visit with each patient by
videoconference, then press a
computer button to open a drawer
in front of the patient, who
could be seated up to 190 miles
away.
"The patient then reaches into
the drawer and withdraws the
abortion pills. The system is
drawing interest from other
abortion providers around the
country."
