Hello, and welcome to Insider’s Health TV.. Where we bring you the freshest happenings in the world of medicine without the quack
propaganda.. Today we’ll be talking about the growing procedure of using telemedicine to prescribe
what’s commonly known as the “abortion pill” to women.
A new study looked into the practice of video conferencing with a patient before prescribing
her an abortion pill.. It turns out that there was no difference compared to those who had a face-to-face visit.
The findings are centered on an already controversial practice called telemedicine, and many people
believe that abortions shouldn’t be handed out via an Internet conference.
The opponents, terming it a ‘webcam abortion,’ charge that it can pose a health risk to women,
and several states have actually banned the practice.
But since this study seems to show that there are no greater health risks involved…
it now becomes a political issue.. For those who are pushing the new procedure, telemedicine has the possibility to open up
doors for women who don’t live near any good healthcare facilities.
Planned Parenthood started the program because there were some women in lower economic divisions
that were not able to get to their location for whatever reason.
Some were working all the time, some didn’t have any transportation, and some just lived
too far away and had other things to take care of..
