*** begin quote ***
The organization contends Planned Parenthood is breaking the law because Iowa state law requires abortions to be done by physicians and a doctor is not physically present with the woman at the time she get the abortion drug. Instead, a potentially untrained or unlicensed staffer sits with the woman as she visits with the abortion practitioner, who may be out of state at the time, during a videoconfernce.

Why regulate medicine?
To make jobs for bureaucrats and drive up costs for the benefit of the monopoly suppliers. Argh!
If one can have video conference abortions, then why can’t we have video conference everything else?
Good way to ship doctor’s jobs to third world countries.
As a little L libertarian, why do we permit the Gooferment to “regulate” medicine? Not like it does anything but drive up costs.
(And, btw, how much does this “committee” cost?)
