Rep. Matthew Hill (R) Jonesborough offered a straightforward pro life amendment to the resolution, but unfortunately it was voted down on a voice vote by the majority. HJR 58 resolution is sponsored by Rep. Tony Shipley(R) of Kingsport.
See video here and discussion of the amendment is at 28:15.
HJR 58 seems like a simple resolution "encouraging and advocating" the expanded use of telemedicine to deliver healthcare to the areas of our state that are currently underserved by providers. It further states that medical providers should be reimbursed as though the services are delivered in person.
Enter the abortion industry....sensing a cash cow. They see how this can bring "death by Skype." Currently in TN, only a doctor is authorized to administer abortions. Now a doctor sitting before his computer can administer the chemical abortion, RU 486 with a few clicks of the mouse all across the state. To put the icing on the cake, he can have HHS headed by abortion friendly Kathleen Sebelius pay for the equipment for his lucrative telemed abortions with $$ sent from the federal govt. Life is good in the death business.
PP President Richards acknowledged in a speech recently in the state of Iowa that already practices telemed abortions that this plan is going to be spread across the nation in the next five years.
Hear radio spot by public radio station in IA discussing this.
Death by Skype in TN? Be wary the simple resolution....
