Medical board used to curb abortion

I hate to think that the Iowa Board of Medicine is the latest recruit of the forces working to end legal abortion. But it's hard to conclude otherwise, given the haste in which they are moving to further burden women who have made the decision to end a pregnancy by attempting to ban access to medication abortion through telemedicine.
For the past five years, Planned Parenthood has been utilizing the medical innovation of telehealth to provide affordable and accessible care to their patients with safety as the top priority. For this they should be commended.
