Planned Parenthood Offers Walk-in Abortions in Iowa With Webcam Doctor
Iowa Right to Life News ^ | September 10, 2008 | Iowa Right to Life

Posted on 09/10/2008 9:10:43 AM PDT by MockTurtle

Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa is now offering no appointment, walk-in abortions at its clinics without a physician on site. How will they do this? By offering dangerous RU 486 chemical abortions at all of their locations, with a Des Moines-based abortionist consulting by webcam.

More Profitable for Planned Parenthood, More Dangerous for Women

It gets worse. Planned Parenthood does not follow FDA Protocol for RU 486. Planned Parenthood gives women a cheaper combination of the pills in an RU 486 abortion, against the recommendations of the Food and Drug Administration, which makes these abortions more profitable for the abortion group and more dangerous for women.

Planned Parenthood gives women a single RU 486 pill, instead of three recommended by the FDA, then ups the dosage of the less expensive prostaglandin, Misoprostol, which expels the baby.

Planned Parenthood also cuts back the number of appointments the FDA recommends for an RU 486 abortion from three to two, which also increases Planned Parenthood's profits by reducing office and staffing expenses.

The FDA says that RU 486 abortions should not be performed on women more than 49 days into a woman's pregnancy. But Planned Parenthood offers RU 486 up to 63 days after the first day of a woman's last period. This way, Planned Parenthood can expand their profitable RU 486 abortions, at the expense of women's safety.

Women Facing Their Abortion Alone

RU 486 abortions are less messy for Planned Parenthood and more traumatizing for women, because the women are forced to deal with the blood and the dead baby at home – alone. RU 486 abortions take longer and are bloodier than a surgical abortion.

In 2007, a woman in Lincoln, NE almost bled to death after Dr. Meryl Severson, Medical Director for Planned Parenthood of Council Bluffs and Nebraska, performed an abortion on her. An attorney for Planned Parenthood blamed the victim, saying she "knew the risks." You can bet the Planned Parenthood attorneys will use the same defense in Iowa, when women start dying or suffering serious injury from RU 486 in Iowa.

Women who don’t want to bleed to death after having a Miscarriage which is what RU486 induces.

De-fund Planned Parenthood. It makes me sick to think one penny of my tax dollars is going to this baby killing machine.

That would probably be safer than Planned Parenthood's RU 486 cocktail.

If we need a 3 day waiting period to “cool off” before buying a gun, why not a waiting period to obtain a voluntary abortion?

I’m listening to WHO right now, Jan Mickelson just went off. He’s starting to sound more and more like Bill O’Reilly. A little too accomodating to the other side. Jan said that the outrage over the lipstick thing is “feigned” by the Republicans. Not this one, especially when it was used in conjunction with the smelly fish statement. Scripted, purposesful, and to some, outrageous...

One of the amazing things about RU486 is its name;

R U 4 = Are you for

86 = kill[ing] = killing (from the telegraph era to kill a story)

RU486 = Are you for killing [babies]

Pray that abortion disappear from the American landscape. Otherwise we are in for a rude awakening.
