Like a lot of male Republican politicians, Idaho State Representative Vito Barbieri appears to be quite confused about the female body.
With regard to a state bill which would ban doctors from providing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine, the House State Affairs Committee heard three hours of testimony on Monday, which is when Representative Barbieri would soon make it known to the world that he knows as much about a woman's body as a fetus knows about the "Internets" (thanks, Dubya).
Here's basically how the back-and-forth between Representative Barbieri and Dr. Julie Madsen, who opposes the bill, went:
Dr. Madsen: "...Some colonoscopy patients may swallow a small device to give doctors a closer look at parts of their colon."
Rep. Barbieri: "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?"
Dr. Madsen: "That would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina."
Rep. Barbieri: "Fascinating. That makes sense."
Representative Barbieri would later say his question was rhetorical. However, I have a difficult time believing this. If he was truly asking a rhetorical question, as most everyone would do in such a circumstance, here's how the back-and-forth would have gone:
Dr. Madsen: "...Some colonoscopy patients may swallow a small device to give doctors a closer look at parts of their colon."
Rep. Barbieri: "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?"
Dr. Madsen: "That..."
Rep. Barbieri: "No need to respond. The question was rhetorical. I was merely proving a point. That will be all."
So since I don't believe his question was rhetorical, I have some questions of my own that I'd like to ask the Idaho lawmaker:
1) True or false, the butt and vagina are the same thing?
2) If you answered true to question #1, does that make the butt and penis the same thing?
3) If you answered true to both #1 and #2, through the transitive property, does that mean the penis and vagina are the same thing?
4) How do you believe people have sex? You'll be required to draw a picture.
5) If vaginas are butts in disguise, why do so many Republicans have an issue with gays getting married, since both homosexuals and heterosexuals would be only engaging in anal sex?
Based on Representative Barbieri's ridiculous question, expect to hear the following questions from him at some point in the future:
- "In Sir Mix-a-Lot's song, 'Baby Got Back,' when he says, 'I like big butts and I cannot lie,' is that code for, 'I like big vaginas and I cannot lie?'"
- "Do women always have to sit down to use the restroom because they pee and poop out of the same place?"
- "Where do babies come out of again and does it really matter which hole it is, or is there only one hole?"
- "So, since I've established that butts are the same thing as vaginas, does this mean gay men can get pregnant too?"
- "If a doctor gave me a colonoscopy, would he find my head there?"
Yes...
