Republican State Representative Vito Barbieri from the state of Idaho
thinks that a woman's vagina has some sort of direct passageway to her
stomach because, I mean, how else does the pee come out?

This rather impressive display of anatomical ignorance (h/t Salon) came
during a Idaho House State Affairs Committee hearing where the members
heard testimony on a bill that "would ban doctors from prescribing
abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine."

Our friend Vito asked Dr. Julie Madsen, who was testifying against the
bill, if women could simply swallow a camera in order for doctors to
perform remote gynecological exams. Madsen I assume chocked back cries
of utter disdain and horror before explaining that "swallowed pills do
not end up in the vagina."

On one hand, I would be willing to bet that most men are wildly
uninformed about female anatomy. Why should Vito here be any different?
He doesn't have a vagina so why does it matter that he knows anything
about it? Oh yeah, because these exact idiot men get to make medical
decisions on behalf of women.

The bill passed and Barbierei will go back to his side gig of sitting on
the board of a crisis pregnancy center in the state. Cool.
