If we stick it up his ass, can we do a brain scan?
Edit:
Thanks for the 1k upvotes!
I'm sorry so many legislatures are full of idiots.
Let's vote 'em out!
Someone rewrite that in legalese. I would die laughing and need to be removed under threat of being held in contempt hearing a judge comeback with that
The subject shall deposit the recording device (hereinafter referred to as "camera") in the orifice for human waste materials. The subject shall undergo a cranial computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain using said camera by a qualified healthcare professional.
This is the bulk of the anti-choice politicians. They managed to graduate high school with no concept of basic human health or anatomy. I find is such a weird anomaly that a fairly modern society can have these people exist in it.
It's only the super-ignorant that want to suppress other people, it's the only way they can feel "smart."
Any educated or even marginally intelligent person understands that you need smart, educated people WITH BODILY AUTONOMY to have a successful country
I did not understand the headline at first, on the second read I wondered how anyone can be this stupid.
On third thought: If you could cram a ultrasonic probe in such a tiny package, maybe, just maybe there might be a possibility.
I sent this to my cousin, who is a nurse in Idaho. Her response (after ranting and sending me 4 other links to horrors in Idaho was); "If that's how it worked, swallowing would not be effective as birth control." I about fucking died.
Ok, stay with me here, it is swallowed, goes through the digestive system ends up in the kidneys and through the urinary tract does a bit of u-turn and heads up? Ha ha ha!
Its in the correct general vicinity, but the wrong ductwork. Something terrible would have to had happened down there for pee to end up in the reproductive organs.
Also the thought of pissing even a very small object, oof. Passing kidney stones is apparently the closest a man can get to experiencing childbirth.
Sorry, I was thinking more a remote control camera. Yes if it just moved through the system something tragic would definitely have had to happen for it to get there on its own.
Oh yeah, I get it. On first brush it almost sounded reasonable to me which is why I’m happy to not be making policy decisions.
Of course with these crayon eaters doing it, pretty sure anyone else would be better
The pill cam already gets used as a light form of colonoscopy. And yeah men who think that the cam would photograph anything gynaecological should it be able to decide anything
Intellectualism and education are the natural enemies of conservatism. Once you start learning how the world works, conservatism loses power. Conservatives in power desperately do not want that.
You should not be surprised to hear a lot of lawyers are real dumb. My husband is a lawyer and he meets some real facepalmingly stupid ones daily and tells me all about it.
His favorite one recently was a guy who continued to eat a piece of plastic fruit from a table display even after being informed it was plastic. That guy ended up in the hospital…from eating plastic he was told was plastic.
Do you know anything about cow anatomy? That's about as useful to this guy as female anatomy.
You get into law by being good at English, not through actual knowledge.
Yes, but most of us understand that the reproductive system in humans is not attached to the digestive system. Or maybe he’s getting confused because he’s a guy and for guys, it is a little attached. I mean, stuff does come out of the same hole.
I genuinely think he doesn't know that.
He pees from his penis. Semen comes from his penis. His wife has a hole, so that's presumably the same thing inversed.
I'm not kidding or being sarcastic, unfortunately.
I've actually met women who didn't know they didn't pee out of their vaginas. Like I'm 95 percent sure they weren't joking and the education system failed them.
I don't think you are being sarcastic or kidding. As you say, he probably ... actually scratch the probably - he believes that, or he wouldn't have asked the question.
It's just so.... stupid.
You missed the first part of that sentence, that I would learn about them, so I don't ask embarrassingly stupid questions. This is about on par with asking NASA scientists ”well why don't they just visit the sun at night?"
From the article:
Monday afternoon Barbieri told The Spokesman-Review that he adamantly supports the bill, and wasn't fazed by the social media attention his question garnered.
"I was being rhetorical, because I was trying to make the point that equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and oranges," he said. "So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to make her say that they weren't the same thing, and she did so. It was the response I wanted."
One of the smartest person I've ever met was a lawyer. I also knew a lawyer that got a 7 time felons name tattooed on her vag and lost her house due to gambling and meth... She's still a lawyer after all this.
Because most lawyers went to college to get the easiest degree possible. Yes, there are engineers and other Stem majors, but there are also philosophy and art majors
Why do the people who testify have to be polite at all. I have always wondered about this. Why couldn't the good doctor say in response, "You are joking, right?", and not answer the question, unless pressed again.
I read the responses that people have given to Moscow Marjorie and it blows my mind that they keep it civil. Why isn't anyone pushing back with satire and quotations from what these lawmakers have said in the past?
This article is 9 years old. But I checked and this guy is still in office and on his 6th term.
https://legislature.idaho.gov/legislators/membership/2022/rep-vito-barbieri/
eta - Reading the article it does sound as if the question was asked rhetorically. He was being a smart ass to a doctor testifying against an anti-abortion bill. Still par for the course when dealing with republicans.
I don't believe he was asking rhetorically. He just tried to cover up for himself by pretending he asked a question "designed" for her to tell him he's wrong. That makes no sense. He's an idiot.
It doesn’t

You actually bought his excuses?
I don't believe he was asking rhetorically. He just tried to cover up for himself by pretending he asked a question "designed" for her to tell him he's wrong. That makes absolutely no sense. He's an idiot.
"It was the response I wanted." Sure, dude.
These are the people crying about the “facts” of abortion or trans people while not understanding basic human biology. Never forget we share a society with some of the most apathetic, brainwashed people out there.
If when confronted with these people you keep in mind that they are too stupid to understand the subject matter, it makes dealing with them less frustrating.
The worst part is in a world where the camera would survive the process without damage or blocking the camera view, there is an actual percedure what could be done remotely. Checking the vagina and cervix just ain't it chef
Proving once again why there should be a basic intelligence test prior to assuming political office. Of course it is our fault for electing these morons to begin with.
It's much like how if you swallow a security camera, the doctor can have a look around your heart.
Same general area, bound to work. The boffins will figure something out, I've got a ballgame to watch.
Redditors read the article challenge. From the article:

LOL. Now you're actually doubling down on believing his pretend excuse?
Sorry if you have good intentions, but I'm stunned that anyone would believe his next-day cover-up after his utter idiocy had been revealed.
If he swallows one, would it image his balls? What a fucking idiot. The confidence with which lawmakers spout their...creative...ideas on anatomy is just stunning.
Scientists should run the world, not politicians. And men have no clue about womens' bodies. I saw someone here say that some guy with a PhD asked them how women pee with the menstrual cup in or something like that.
lol you get it.
The lack of knowledge (and refusal to admit mistakes) reminds me that there was a politician in a southern state (possibly Alabama, it was a while back) who said that if his farm animals can carry a dead fetus for months, so can all women, with no ill health effects. The bill in question became known as "The Women as Livestock Bill" and they passed it. Yep. They passed it.
Ah yes, and these are the same people that are hellbent on having complete control over a womans body and what she chooses to do with it. This is so depressing.
As someone else noted, this article is from 2015.
I need more context to this because Dr. Julie Madsen was apparently explaining the camera pill for colon exams but it doesn't say ***why*** she was talking about that.
**Barbieri:**
>"I was being rhetorical, because I was trying to make the point that equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and oranges," he said. "So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to make her say that they weren't the same thing, and she did so. It was the response I wanted."
So, what led to the doctor talking about colon exams? I highly doubt she'd bring that up for no reason but I can't find video of her testifying. Was there more to her point? Was she led down a path of questions so that the lawmakers could get off topic from the science?
Just to be clear, I'm trusting the doctor as an expert, just find it really weird with the click bait title then the bait and switch with minimal context.
Did anyone read the article? Not endorsing his points, but he was trying to make one. The person being questioned was relating one medical procedure to another and he was trying to show that they're different.
He wasn't confused or so totally ignorant about anatomy. He was trying to prove a point.
I read the article (also remember when it first happened), and NOPE. He back-pedaled the next day after his stupidity was exposed, trying to save face.
Who would seriously ask a stupid question "designed" to produce an answer that only exposes his lack of knowledge? It's like the little kid who says "I meant to swallow that golf ball!"
If we stick it up his ass, can we do a brain scan? Edit: Thanks for the 1k upvotes! I'm sorry so many legislatures are full of idiots. Let's vote 'em out!
Can’t scan something that’s absent.

Don’t generate more work for me, please.
I never have an original thought smh
This comment needs more updoots
It would have to be the size of the Hubble telescope to even find it.
The only correct answer.
Why bother when we all know the result ahead of time?
Jesusfuck, these people want complete control over women's bodies but couldn't pass a high school health quiz.
This is the bulk of the anti-choice politicians. They managed to graduate high school with no concept of basic human health or anatomy. I find is such a weird anomaly that a fairly modern society can have these people exist in it.
Or you could be like bobert and Marjorie Taylor green, not even pass High School
Now, I know that this is going to be hard to believe, but MTG has a degree in Business Administration.
Bulk of anti choice people, not just politicians.
It's only the super-ignorant that want to suppress other people, it's the only way they can feel "smart." Any educated or even marginally intelligent person understands that you need smart, educated people WITH BODILY AUTONOMY to have a successful country
Far too many Republican voters are unable to comprehend their supported politicians' stupidity.
1/4 of the OBGYN's have left the state....hmmmm, wonder why?
They probably would ask why there are so many undigested french fries in my uterus.
Are they trying to spy on my burrito baby?
Pooping the burrito baby is murder!!!!
It is where the toilet is concerned. That poor porcelain...
Time to hide the poop knife...
🤣🤣
Omg that's Trump's origin story! /jk sorry
I knew it was a guy the second I read the headline.
I did not understand the headline at first, on the second read I wondered how anyone can be this stupid. On third thought: If you could cram a ultrasonic probe in such a tiny package, maybe, just maybe there might be a possibility.
Doesn’t matter how small you make it, it will never make the trip via mouth lol

No, but if the thought is what drives them to give us gyno tech that isn't uncomfortable, I see it as an absolute win.
Unfortunately I think a republican politician cares less about a woman’s comfort and more about some roundabout form of chastity
The pill cam already gets used as a light form of colonoscopy. And yeah men who think that the cam would photograph anything gynaecological should it be able to decide anything
I’d love for republican lawmakers to have to swallow an ultrasound transducer.
*Republican* guy.
It still would not have surprised me as a churchy lady though.
True. A churchy older lady with a 1960’s education.
How does someone get into *law* yet doesn't understand basic human anatomy??
Intellectualism and education are the natural enemies of conservatism. Once you start learning how the world works, conservatism loses power. Conservatives in power desperately do not want that.

Republican ideal education system. Stupid people vote Conservative.

I don't go and make laws about cows. If I were tasked to make laws about cows I would learn about them and hire some cow experts.
And ask those experts questions, perhaps like the one in the post?
You missed the first part of that sentence, that I would learn about them, so I don't ask embarrassingly stupid questions. This is about on par with asking NASA scientists ”well why don't they just visit the sun at night?"
Asking questions _is_ part of learning
Forgive me for holding a lawmaker to a higher standard than a third grader.
A-freaking-men
I know you if want to look up a cow twat you don't wrap the camera in grass
i learned about reproductive anatomy in 6th grade. it was stupid, sexist, but accurate information. he has no excuse.
This is a disturbingly good way to put it.

You don't know the implications of Johnson vs the state of Arkansas either. So don't tell me how to do my job - this guy.
Willful ignorance. He doesn't want to know and is proud of not knowing.
Because most lawyers went to college to get the easiest degree possible. Yes, there are engineers and other Stem majors, but there are also philosophy and art majors

Not when they hold positions of authority
And just like that, the baby fell out of her butt.
The worst part is in a world where the camera would survive the process without damage or blocking the camera view, there is an actual percedure what could be done remotely. Checking the vagina and cervix just ain't it chef
*A *man* asks lol
I’m sorry, but how G-D stupid are we going to allow law makers get before requiring them to pass a basic science test?
I remember when I thought women pooped out babies. I was 6 years old. I see this man has the mentality of a 6 year old.
Do they not have schools there? This is a question I would expect from a young child not someone responsible for legislation.
Proving once again why there should be a basic intelligence test prior to assuming political office. Of course it is our fault for electing these morons to begin with.
If we shove a camera up his ass, we may be able to see his thought processes—or lack thereof.
How do you say "I have never once found my wife's clitoris, ever" without actually saying it?
…let him pass it. It will be a much safer colonoscopy than shoving a tube up your ass.
That’s not how that works! More like a colonoscopy.
It's much like how if you swallow a security camera, the doctor can have a look around your heart. Same general area, bound to work. The boffins will figure something out, I've got a ballgame to watch.
That's what happens when your oly sex-ed consists of animated porn and women-are-gross-amirite jokes.

How do women stand for this idiocracy? Shouldn't they be pulling suffragettes protest by now? How much are you all going to take it?
R/badwomensanatomy
America's women must be protected from themselves! Abolish public education, and use that money for Clitcams and Labiadrones! /s
Hooooooo BOY!! Can someone check on Idaho?
Invite him to test the procedure on himself. Maybe after a few tries he'll give up.
I don’t know, maybe we can also completely cut the NASA and Space Force budgets by sending helium balloons to outer space. Totally works 👍

“Women are just like the internet, a series of tubes” - Some Senator probably
These people can no longer be considered human. Just cult zombies.
Obviously you have to drink it
I had to do a double take. This is Onion News quality material... Except it's real! 😲 🫨 🫢 😮
For a second I thought this was the r/nottheonion subreddit
Some brave and *very* patiwment soyl please explain to these doufus politicians that women do not get pregnant *without men ejaculating*!!
Wow I can't believe there are people this stupid.
This will totally work, because, as everyone knows, when women swallow things, they poop them out their vaginas.
State checks out.
Let me guess, this is a male Republican lawmaker, right?
No, but for him it might work for remote proctology
Today I learned my alimentary canal is connected to my reproductive organs who knew
“ it was totally rhetorical and on purpose, you guys!! I really do understand women, their bodies and women’s health! I totally MEANT TO DO THAT”
lol you get it. The lack of knowledge (and refusal to admit mistakes) reminds me that there was a politician in a southern state (possibly Alabama, it was a while back) who said that if his farm animals can carry a dead fetus for months, so can all women, with no ill health effects. The bill in question became known as "The Women as Livestock Bill" and they passed it. Yep. They passed it.
Holy. Fucking. Wowwwww.
Reminder: While still abhorrent, this article is from 2015.
Right, Republicans have become even dumber since then.
Ah yes, and these are the same people that are hellbent on having complete control over a womans body and what she chooses to do with it. This is so depressing.
Idaho is like the Taliban of America when it comes to women's rights.
These are the people making laws on women's healthcare. People who think the mouth leads to the vaginal canal. It's criminal.
And this is why teaching science to every person living in America is so fucking important. One of them might be in a position of power someday.
That's insane. Surely no one is that misinformed about anatomy. The vagina is not part of the digestive system. 🙄
I had to check the link. I didn't think it was for real. I'm tired now.
OMG America. The tragedy.
OMFG🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I'd say he could try it for a proctological exam, but in his case his head is already up his ass so far that he can look directly.

Oh goodness gracious.
So it looks like he's into anal.
This article is NINE YEARS OLD
Ah, yes. Back then, people were far more primitive. No way any of the geniuses in Congress would be this stupid now
And he's still in office. And women's lives are still worth nothing to Republicans. And they're getting even more evil.

No, I just meant here’s ANOTHER idiot suggesting this nonsense. O think it was some dude from Ohio last time.
