The Iowa Medical Board is now investigating the "care and treatment" practices of abortionist Susan Haskell and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, who have been accused of conducting medical abortions without a physician present. The investigation, which Operation Rescue said it was notified of in writing, is in response to complaints filed by OR concerning "Telemed" abortions.
"Telemed" is short for telemedicine, a practice in which the patient consults with a physician over the Internet via Skype or other teleconferencing hook-up. OR investigators found that a dozen small Planned Parenthood offices in Iowa were administering RU486 without the patient ever having been personally examined by a physician. Instead, an abortionist briefly addresses abortion patients from a teleconferencing hook-up from her office in Des Moines. After explaining the medical abortion process, a button is pushed and an electronic drawer opens that contains the drugs. LifeSiteNews
