An abortion facility will not be permitted to commit telemed abortions, thanks to the ruling of a Kansas judge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Trust Women Foundation — named after the legacy of notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller<\/a> and formed after his murder — had requested an injunction allowing its Wichita abortion facility to commit telemed abortions<\/a>, despite being against Kansas law. Shawnee County District Judge Teresa Watson denied the request, and Trust Women Foundation CEO Julie Burkhart said they now have no plans to continue with the procedures. \u201cWe cannot broaden that access and feel confident that the clinic or the physicians will not be penalized for that,\u201d Burkhart said in a statement to the AP. \u201cIf we\u2019re putting our physicians or the clinic in jeopardy, we\u2019re working against our mission. The mission is to bring access to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a telemed abortion, a woman consults with an abortionist through a webcam, with no physical exam, and the abortion pills are then dispensed after their consultation. The abortion industry has been enthusiastically pushing telemed abortions<\/a> as the future of the abortion industry.<\/p>\n

Typically, a woman needs to undergo an examination before going through with an abortion, even one that is said to be “safe,” like abortion pills. Yet the abortion pill regimen is by no means harmless; at least 24 women have died<\/a>, and thousands of others have experienced complications, some severe, including\u00a0hemorrhaging so severely<\/a> that they needed blood transfusions to survive.\u00a0While telemedicine for simple illnesses can be beneficial for those in need of care, the abortion pill regimen is not the same.<\/p>\n

As former abortionist Anthony Levatino explains, there are numerous risks and side effects to a medication abortion, such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, heavy bleeding, and headaches. Deaths from abortion pills are typically from infection and undiagnosed ectopic pregnancies.<\/p>\n
