Bill 103, which would establish telehealth and telemedicine services during public health emergencies, will be going to a third public hearing after several people appeared to testify that the bill could allow for telemedicine medication abortions.
The American Civil Liberties Union brought a lawsuit in January challenging Guam’s abortion laws, which require a woman to have an abortion performed in a doctor’s clinic and that information be provided in-person to patients.
The lawsuit was on behalf of Hawaii doctors Shandhini Raidoo and Bliss Kaneshiro, who said that telemedicine medication abortions could be available to women on Guam if not for the law.
