Iowa Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Ban Webcam Abortions


Iowa Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Ban Webcam Abortions as Stats Show Planned Parenthood's "Cash Cow" has Failed to Produce

IowaCapitolDes Moines, IA - A bill has been introduced in the Iowa Legislature to ban what are known as "telemed" or "webcam" abortions in that state. The bill was introduced by Republican State Rep. Matt Windschitl and 18 co-sponsors.

"If I could stop all abortion in this state, I would," Windschitl told the Des Moines Register.

"Operation Rescue supports this bill will protect women and babies by halting the dangerous webcam abortion scheme in Iowa. We stand ready to assist, if called upon," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

There have been attempts to ban the abortion pill distribution scheme since 2010 when Operation Rescue released an investigative exposé on the experimental practice developed by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. While there was popular support for ending the webcam experiment, efforts to end it were initially rebuffed by the Iowa Board of Medicine. At that time, the IBM, as well as the Governor and State Attorney General's offices were occupied by pro-abortion Democrats that rejected efforts to protect women from Planned Parenthood's below-standard-of-care practice.
