During a debate over an anti-abortion bill, a Republican
lawmaker in Idaho asked Monday whether women can just swallow a tiny
camera in order to conduct a gynecological exam remotely with a doctor. According to the Associated Press, Idaho Rep. Vito Barbieri (R) posed the bizarre question to Dr. Julie Madsen, who was testifying against a bill that would ban doctors
from prescribing medication abortion via webcam unless they have
examined the woman in person. Madsen had to explain to Barbieri that
swallowed items, like pills, do not land in the vagina.(But maybe his wife told him she doesn't swallow so she won't get pregnant) 4951
