Idaho lawmaker asks if woman can swallow camera for gynecological exam before medical abortion
BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho lawmaker received a brief lesson on female anatomy after asking if a woman can swallow a small camera for doctors to conduct a remote gynecological exam.
The question Monday from Republican state Rep. Vito Barbieri came as the House State Affairs Committee heard nearly three hours of testimony on a bill that would ban doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine.
Barbieri later said that the question was rhetorical and intended to make a point.
Dr. Julie Madsen, a physician who said she has provided various telemedicine services in Idaho, was testifying in opposition to the bill. She said some colonoscopy patients may swallow a small device to give doctors a closer look at parts of their colon.
"Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?" Barbieri asked.
Madsen replied that would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina.
"Fascinating. That makes sense," Barbieri said, amid the crowd's laughter.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

He says he was being rhetorical.


For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Soooo.... my wife's been lying and you can't get pregnant that way?



For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

So he needs a dictionary as well as an anatomy chart.
