The Iowa Board of Medicine (IBOM) <\/span>recently announced<\/span><\/a> its new hire for the position of Executive Director \u2014 a former regional director for Planned Parenthood.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iowa Board of Medicine\u00a0was created to \u201c<\/span>protect the public’s health<\/span><\/a> through licensure, investigation and monitoring of physicians who practice in Iowa\u201d and is also charged with \u201c<\/span>administering state laws and regulations<\/span><\/a> that govern the practice of medicine in the state of Iowa.\u201d An <\/span>executive branch agency<\/span><\/a> within the Iowa Department of Public Health, the board is overseen by the Governor.<\/span><\/p>\n

URGENT:\u00a0<\/b>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The powerful board made the decision to hire Dennis Tibben due to his “<\/span>extensive leadership and government affairs experience<\/span><\/a>,” according to Jill Stuecker, former Interim Executive Director of the Iowa Board of Medicine.\u00a0A graduate of Iowa State University and Drake University, Tibben has a lengthy resume. Of immediate concern is his tenure at Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in the state, where he served as Regional Director.\u00a0A former leader in the abortion business, Tibben now has the unfettered power to aid and abet Iowa\u2019s wholly uninspected abortion industry if he so chooses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tibben most recently worked for many years at the <\/span>Iowa Medical Society<\/span><\/a>, a non-profit organization. Upon departure, he was serving as the society’s Interim Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer. He was a registered <\/span>lobbyist<\/span><\/a> for the medical society, as well as for the <\/span>Iowa Chapter-American Academy of Pediatrics<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leading the board that is responsible for the <\/span>licensure, investigation and monitoring<\/span><\/a> of the state\u2019s physicians, Tibben has been given the oversight and authority to decide the fate of any problems or complaints made to the board regarding the practice of abortion in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of this, IBOM\u2019s decision to hire Tibben could further jeopardize the lives of vulnerable, pregnant women and their preborn children.<\/span><\/p>\n
