This Sept. 22, 2010 photo shows the open drawer of a telemedicine terminal in Des Moines, Iowa, from which Planned Parenthood of the Heartland clinic doctors can remotely prescribe the abortion-inducing drug RU-486. Ten years ago, on Sept. 28, 2000, after long and bitter debate, the Food and Drug Administration approved use of the abortion pill by American women. It is hailed as safe and effective, but new turmoil may lie ahead as the pill's proponents consider using telemedicine to make it more available. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
