Politics at its worst

It's hard to imagine why a government body such as the Iowa Board of Medicine would change its mind about an issue so quickly. In 2010, an organization against abortion filed a complaint against Planned Parenthood's telemedicine delivery system.
After an intense investigation, the board dismissed the complaint and closed the issue without taking any action. They saw the complaint was nothing more than a political attempt to eliminate safe abortion. Now, 2 1/2 years later, they change their mind because of a petition from a group against abortion? Politics at its worst.
