How very convenient.  Press a button on the computer screen and receive your RU 486.  It's like a drive though abortion service.  What will they think of next?  Only problem is, it's illegal.  Oops, here comes the criminal investigation...

The complaint asserts violations of the Iowa law requiring that only licensed physicians perform abortions, the endangerment of women's lives through the process that dispenses drugs by remote control, negligence in dispensing drugs in ways that exceed manufacturer safety limits, overbilling of insurance companies and "patient abandonment," since the abortionist remains unavailable to the patient – even in an emergency.

Operation Rescue earlier obtained confirmation of an investigation by the Iowa Medical Board into Planned Parenthood.

Operation Rescue Senior Policy Adviser Cheryl Sullenger had filed the medical board complaint over the procedure, prompting the Iowa Medical Board's confirmation that it was looking into the "care and treatment" practices of abortionist Haskell.

The complaint had raised several concerns, including the fact that Iowa law allows only a licensed physician to do abortions, the Planned Parenthood of the Heartland procedure fell short of FDA-approved protocols for doctor's visits, no physician was present for the administration of abortion drugs and insurance companies apparently were overbilled.

Operation Rescue discovered the Iowa telemed abortion scheme during an undercover investigation of abortion clinics across the nation.
