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.”

Americans vs Democrats.
Wolf is a Democrat Dictator.
The doctors here in PA and the dentists right now aren’t allowed to give check ups, and I can’t see the dentists, till at least June 1. I thought kids were Doomed to die without the measles shots?
Evidently the people of Pennsylvania wanted this, just as the people of Virginia wanted their Doctor Death. Just saw that nearly all the Democrats want to stay locked down forever too. I have no hope for the country. Split it up. I’ll go to the Republic of Texas to spend the rest of my time.
They really worship at the altar of abortion.
You ever notice they worry about disparate impact of any activity except abortion. To me this is indicative of being racist as well.
Apparently, abortion is THE issue for Democrats. Lots of Democrat women only care about having sex without consequences, the economy be damned. Nothing else matters.
These same people would go ballistic if there were clinics where you could take your pets to be euthanized - just because you didn’t want them. Rightfully so, but how can they hold that position while simultaneously advocating for the right to kill babies?
“Lots of Democrat women only care about having sex without consequences.”
Can’t understand why or how any man would want to be with such creatures.
How can the Federal Government give planned parenthood millions of dollars so they can give millions to Democrat candidates?
The Rural areas are Conservative and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are run by liberal Democrats. Wolf, the Gov. is a Democrat.
If you can’t go to the abortion, let the abortion come to you.
I guess I’d be curious to have them explain how telemedicine facilitates at home abortions other than the RU-486 kind...
At home abortions? What, like throwing yourselves down a flight of stairs?
Dr.Rachel Levine: “I just saw the shadow of my peni$, 6 more weeks of quarantine.”
Abortion on remand at home huh...
At this point, there really isn’t a way, to avoid the worst of Gods judgement.
The individual and society, (both pro and anti abortion), have deluded themselves, when they believe thebkost innocent little people can be gruesomely and torturously murder by the 10’s of millions, bide their time, “just gonna fix it jn some future election”, ask God to forgive us, and go on our marry way, as if nothing ever happened!
Really!
These could not have a more wrong perspective of God and His justice.
God will abort all such societies.
Or better yet, perform an abortion on a dog or cat and watch the left go ballistic. Upload to Youtube for maximum effect.
So friggin sick of Filthedelphia.
That approx 20 miles square area of PA, screws every one else in the state. They suck!
And Wolfe, who wants everyone to see him as an every day common Pennsylvanian is NOTHING of the sort. He is a RADICAL LEFTIST!!
PA has been dup’d by this clown!!
The trouble is the Pennsylvania Republican party is about as inept as inept can be!
