Anti-Abortion GOP Lawmaker: Swallowing Camera for Gynecological Examinations

Republican (of course) state representative Vito Barbieri argued with a doctor on a bill that would ban doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine. Dr. Julie Madsen, a real doctor who was testifying against the bill, was exlpaining colonoscopy patients swallowing small devices to let doctors examine colons. Which led the GOP lawmaker pose this scenario:

“Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?”

No, the doctor replied. Because despite what your mom told you when you were five, the baby does not live in your tummy!

These are the lawmakers who want to impose their will on your most personal medical decisions.

Despite the viral outrage that any lawmaker would think ingesting something solid would expel from a woman's vagina, it is important to note that the bill passed with support like people from Baribieri. Perhaps instead of banning biology textbooks, they could try reading one--especially if they insist on injecting themselves in the most personal decision a woman can make.

  4. Oh and by all means let's be able to order a abortion inducing substance over the phone. That doesn't seem rife for problems at all.

  7. Perhaps Barbieri could try snorting a camera to try and find out if he has a brain.
