Wisconsin law on WebCam abortions intact

By Dave Andrusko Planned Parenthood sues at the drop of a hat, indeed they’d sue, if they could, while the hat is being made. Take Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, for example.

Surprise, surprise: study by pro-abortionists find benign results from increased use of “webcam” abortions

By Dave Andrusko I just learned about a study that appeared in the American Journal of Public Health yesterday (courtesy of a story in the Des Moines Register) which purports to find that the presence of “web-cam” abortions in Iowa did not increase the overall number of abortions in the Hawkeye State.

Defending WebCam Abortions Requires Misreading Pro-Life Motives, Ignoring Pro-Abortionists’ Agenda

By Dave Andrusko Webcam abortions are a kind of arraigned marriage between a very legitimate medical practice—telemedicine—and RU486, the pro-abortionist’s dream “technique” for insinuating abortion into every nook and cranny in the United States and every unsuspecting third-world village in the developing world. The evil genius of webcam abortions is to disguise the real agenda—making …
