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

 Des
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.
