It is now legal for physicians in Iowa to administer abortion-inducing pills by webcam.
Last month, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled a ban on using webcam communication to administer abortion-inducing pills was unconstitutional. This telemedicine abortion procedure, used only at Planned Parenthood clinics in Iowa and Minnesota, is banned in 18 other states for safety reasons.
Since Planned Parenthood of the Heartland in Iowa became the first to use the webcam procedure in 2008, more than 7,200 babies have been aborted this way. The organization operates seven telemedicine sites in Iowa that use a secure video conferencing system, compliant with Health Insurance Privacy Act regulations, to communicate with physicians in Des Moines and Iowa City.
Officials of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland say the system allows the organization to more effectively serve women in rural areas without compromising safety.
“The process for a traditional medication abortion and an abortion via telemedicine are exactly the same with the exception of the physical location of the physician,” Angie Remington, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, said in an interview with The Daily Signal. “Medication abortion gives a woman who is still early in her pregnancy the option to end the pregnancy safely and closer to her home.”

A woman goes to a Planned Parenthood where there is no doctor physically present. She consults a doctor only by webcam. The doctor remotely activates a drawer that opens and provides the woman with two bottles of abortion pill drugs.
Let me get this straight say a woman go into clinic what about face to face
I don’t know about you I rather be in contact face to face with my DOCTOR he know my medical history
That still won't change the fact, that DOG POUNDS are better regulated than abortion businesses.
"Between a woman's doctor, and her doctor"--between her killer computer, and its network.
Another court weighs in! Too bad for the people who worked so hard to put the law in place. Before we are done, the Supreme Court will have legalized the killing of newborns whose parents are not happy with whatever they got. I’ll give it about 3 years.
I reckon as a young woman (not any more!), I was quite ignorant. I thought if a doctor said it, then “it” (whatever “it” was) was just about gospel. I took birth control pills, not knowing anything about them; except a DOCTOR had PRESCRIBED them. - (So, they must be OK?) I didn’t find out until years later (I’m almost 69) that the “pill” is an abortificent. Good God!!
It’s impossible to administer a pill through a webcam. Did the headline writer mean “prescribe”?
It means your older sister, your bofriend’s sister, aunt, etc...can get them for the young children without consent from their parents. Your daughter’s boyfriend and pedophiles will love this...welcome to the NWO
Because they care.
About killing.
That’s if you get pregnant from a toilet seat.
Like for 14 yr olds in New York City...
Here’s your plan B pill honey, but for God’s sake don’t wash it down with a soda > 16 oz or smoke a cigarette after having sex.
