Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf Rejects Telemedicine Expansion Bill that Excludes At-Home Abortions
BREITBART ^ | May 7, 2020 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 05/08/2020 12:44:06 PM PDT by Morgana

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have expanded telemedicine services during the coronavirus outbreak because it excluded access to at-home, drug-induced abortions.

Wolf, who has typically rejected pro-life legislation, vetoed Senate Bill 857, a measure that would have expanded virtual medical services for those unable to see their doctors in person, because the bill prohibited access to drugs to induce at-home abortions.

In a veto message, the governor said a Pennsylvania House amendment to the legislation that banned telemedicine services that are not approved under the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) was not acceptable to him.

The abortion drug Mifeprex has not been approved under REMS.

“I supported a prior printer’s number of the bill, but as amended in the House of Representatives, this legislation arbitrarily restricts the use of telemedicine for certain doctor-patient interactions,” Wolf said. “As amended, this bill interferes with women’s health care and the crucial decision-making between patients and their physicians.”

In 2018, abortion giant Planned Parenthood announced it was spending $1.5 million to reelect Wolf, who has repeatedly vetoed pro-life legislation such as a measure that would ban dismemberment abortions and another that would ban abortions based on a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome.

On Monday, national pro-life leaders sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn urging him to take action to block the illegal Internet sale of abortion-inducing drugs that are produced overseas and then shipped to the United States.

In a press release, the leaders observed that, under REMS, Mifeprex and its generic form, mifepristone, “cannot legally be sold in pharmacies or online due to the risk of serious complications.”

You obviously know little about the vast majority of Pennsylvania territory.

~85% of the state’s area is held disgustingly hostage by the fetid outhouse of Harrisburg and the twin socialist cesspits of Shittsburgh and Filthadelphia.

Not to mention that while disparaging PAlabama astride your high horse, you can’t be bothered to fly a state flag on your profile ?

‘Lots of Democrat women only care about having sex without consequences’

abortion is the sword that modern women have held over the body politic for decades to amass power and influence...they now have a choke hold on the political drive train of the country...

This dolt just drools at the thought of completely innocent little ones in the wombs of their mothers being physically pulled apart limb to limb Or having their little brains sucked out after being pierced with a scalpel. If this sounds to harsh for some...I don’t care! These are Gods children and they deserve to be protected and defended by all decent human beings.

The democrat party will do anything that the raging feminazis want it to do. The dems depend on the votes and the money.

Aborted babies are rich in protein. Make excellent stews.
When you are in lock down, that fact is good news.
