Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Closes Two Centers in Iowa
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, the Iowa affiliate of the nation's biggest abortion business, has announced it is closing two of its abortion referral clinics - the Newton clinic and the Family Practice Center in Des Moines. These centers, which refer women for abortions, will be closed effective July 19 and they follow Planned Parenthood of the Heartland closing the doors in March on their abortion centers in Storm Lake and Knoxville, Iowa.

Abortion clinics are getting stiffed by a Republican congress and so much religious zeal to stop these places from carrying out what they view as murder. It doesn't surprise me that these Iowa clinics ended up having to close.

Iowa Medical Board Adopts Rules Banning Dangerous Webcam Abortions
The Iowa Board of Medicine voted 8-2 today to adopt a rule effectively ending webcam abortion in Iowa.
The webcam abortion practice started with the Planned Parenthood of the Heartland affiliate using it in Iowa, a rural state where the abortion business has a difficult time getting an abortion practitioner to each of its clinics. As a result, it set up a process by which the abortion practitioner only visits with the woman considering using the mifepristone abortion pill via a videoconference, as opposed to an in-person visit the FDA suggests.
