Idaho Lawmaker Wonders If Women Could Have A Gyno Exam By Swallowing A Tiny Camera
An Idaho lawmaker revealed his confusion about female anatomy during a legislative debate over a proposed abortion bill on Monday.
According to the Associated Press, Idaho Rep. Vito Barbieri (R) asked a doctor testifying before the House State Affairs Committee whether a woman could have a remote gynecological exam by swallowing a tiny camera. Dr. Julie Madsen told him no, thats not possible, because items that are swallowed do not end up in the vagina.
