Jill June, president of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, called efforts to prevent Big Abortion from performing remote control abortions “shameful.” Really? It’s shameful that a woman undergoing a dangerous procedure actually be seen by a doctor in person.
Wasn’t feminism supposed to be about getting women better healthcare? Big Abortion is singlehandedly bringing abortion back into the back alley with their efforts at telemedicine. What’s the difference. They’ll be a little screen with a doctor hundreds of miles away? That’s an improvement?
Big Abortion is claiming that by implementing telemedicine, they aim to provide women living in remote and rural areas of with greater access to abortion services. But abortion via remote control is really about there not being enough abortionists. How many times have we read about the “graying” of abortionists. So now they can have one abortionist handing out abortion pills like it’s his job – because it is.
This is about it not being profitable to have abortionists stationed all over rural areas so they want to set up a television screen for doctors to hand out abortions via remote control.
Come on. Does anybody seriously believe that women aren’t endangered by this kind of practice?

How much insurance for malpractice might be collected by women injured by the lack of oversight and patient care?

Jill June, bringing more shame to those of us in Iowa who hate what she stands for.
All Jill June cares about is making a profit off of murdering unborn babies. She doesn't care who else she endangers or how many lies she has to tell to accomplish it. That is what is being PPH's latest expansion here in Iowa. & since telemed abortions are the best way to make that money while taking "advantage of the economies of scale", you can be sure as many new sites as possible are in the work.

I see huge insurance/liability problems here.
Am I wrong?
This is not like "take two aspirins and stay at home for three days".

Doesn't it seem like big abortion and friends even in Catholic spheres lately really love bringing out the "shame" word? I thought that shame was a thing of the past and we don't do that anymore. But when it comes to prolife or someone who proposes that we all try to get along a little better, err on the side of life, try to be grateful to God, whatever it may be, you get the "shame" coming down on your head like a ton of bricks. I think their thought process goes something like this…"Christians are hung up on rules and guilt. They use it on each other and actually believe it. Therefore, though I would never be ashamed personally, I do not have any problem employing the shame word against Christians whom I hate…" Shame on them for trying to shame prolifers..

They want abortion to be exempt from all the rules surrounding medicine, whether it's surgery, prescriptions, whatever. I work for a doctor, it's just bad medicine to prescribe a medication to someone when they haven't been seen for an appointment. So many things can go wrong with that scenario. Sorry lady, but you have to follow the same rules the rest of us do.

WHY is abortion exempt from so many of the normal safeguards in medicine? I know abortion companies like PP want it to be that way so they can increase profits. But how have state medical boards, health departments and other licensing & regulatory bodies AMA, FDA, even EPA (as their disposal methods are often found to be dangerous)become so compromised on this issue that they will not do anything to rein PP et. al. in?
Stores that do ear-piercing seem more highly regulated than clinics that perform abortions. HOW did this happen?

Because anyone who tries to enforce the laws on the books know they'll be attacked, plus there's the normal population of bad actors who willfully try to exempt abortion. Gov't work is also disproportionately liberal, which means it's more likely to be done by folks who either don't realize what abortion involves or think that it's as close to sacred as stuff gets.
Going off of fairly recent events, that is….
