Webcam Abortions, Big Money at Stake and Lives at Risk

You can be busy destroying unborn babies six days a week because, heck, in the unlikely case you don’t have enough “patients” locally, you can reach out all over the state. Those “underserved” rural areas [the ones with no home-grown abortionist or too far out of the way to have one fly in or whose “volume” is too low] can have abortion rates as high as a college town like Austin. What a deal!

As they always do, proponents of webcam abortions want to describe abortions as just another “medical service” that ought to viewed—and distributed—no differently than any other. Thus the very last lines: “The bottom line: In the U.S., 10 million people in underserved areas see doctors via telemedicine.[Pro-Life] Activists want to restrict its use for abortion service.”

Most proponents simply ignore this. They prefer to argue that the complications rate is essentially the same whether the abortionist “prescribed abortion drugs in person” or women “were given the treatment after a teleconference,” to quote Deprez.

They go further to cite a study published in The American Journal of Public Health which looked at “Changes in Service Delivery Patterns After Introduction of Telemedicine Provision of Medical Abortion in Iowa.” For the moment ignore that the usual pro-abortionists were in charge of the study. The study concluded, “Recent legislation to ban telemedicine abortion may adversely affect public health by preventing women from accessing abortion earlier in pregnancy, when it is safer.”

Ok, so easier and more efficient yet they don't care to see the patient in case they may become severely sick? Think about the younger people who would use this service and not be seen by a Dr.
