In a recent interview, Planned Parenthood's acting CEO said, the "silver lining" of the COVID-19 crisis is that her abortion chain has employed the "telehealth technology to offer drug-induced, at-home abortions."

Essentially, Alexis McGill Johnson explained to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, that a lot of states have tried, including elective abortions, on top of the other procedures. These procedures should be provisionally prohibited as the preservation of scarce medical equipment for health workers who treat COVID-19 patients is said to be unacceptable.

In addition, Johnson also said, the pandemic's "silver-lining" has been Planned Parenthood's new tele-abortion service's launch wherein a woman who seeks abortion has a remote meeting with a provider of abortion.

Also, during the web-based meeting with the abortion provider, women may acquire a prescription for "abortion-inducing drugs," they can take at home.

Johnson explained, the new "tele-abortion" service of Planned Parenthood "is actually a silver-lining" in this COVID-19 crisis, they and the other health care organizations have been able to certainly lean into "telehealth infrastructure to offer such a service."

What the Pro-Life Advocates Say

Early this week, the pro-life leaders sent Dr. Stephen Hahn, the FDA Commissioner, a letter, advising him to make a move to block the unlawful online selling of abortion-inducing drugs produced from abroad and shipped to the United States.

A press release indicated that leaders noticed that under the REMS, the medicine could not be lawfully sold both online and in pharmacies because of the risks of more severe complications.

Nevertheless, websites like Rablon and AidAccess are reportedly regularly selling and distributing the said drugs.

Indiana-based OB/Gyn, Dr. Christina Francis, said, this is a medicine that undoubtedly has dangers linked with it. Dr. Francis is also the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists or AAPLOG chairman of the board.

Additionally, according to Francis, the drug's immediate complications could be "hemorrhage." She explained, the instantaneous probability of infection form this drug, as well as the likelihood of failure where pregnancy does not completely pass from the medication, and then, resulting in the need for a developing operation for that woman due to either ongoing threat of infection or bleeding.

The New Tele-Abortion Service Is In-Demand

Despite the call of pro-life advocates to prohibit the selling of the abortion-induced drugs, an official of the Planned Parenthood in New York State hyped that the new tele-abortion service is very much in-demand. and that a mother started her drug-induced abortion while at home "with her kids running and playing around behind her."

Moreover, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, Dr. Meera Shah, explained to Associated Press that they offered a drug for abortion to an EMT while seated on her ambulance. 

Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortionist, explained in his videos about procedures for abortion that the said drug is blocking the progesterone's action, which the body of the mother is producing for the pregnancy's nourishment.

Levatino added, when the progesterone gets clogged, the lining of the uterus of the mother weakens, and the nourishment and blood get disconnected from the baby that's developing who then dies inside the womb of the mother.

Mainly, Cytotec, the drug misoprostol, is the one causing the bleeding and contraction to expel the baby from the uterus of the mother.

Meanwhile, according to a report from the Catholic News Agency, "Gynuity Health Products," a company based in New York that has been sponsoring the tele-abortion technology.

In addition, the report also indicated that the capability of getting the drug for abortion from various health providers through the mail is particularly critical in this pandemic.
