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."
