Idaho lawmaker asks if woman can swallow camera for gynecological exam before medical abortion
BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho lawmaker received a brief lesson on female anatomy after asking if a woman can swallow a small camera for doctors to conduct a remote gynecological exam.
The question Monday from Republican Rep. Vito Barbieri came as the House State Affairs Committee heard nearly three hours of testimony on a bill that would ban doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine.
Dr. Julie Madsen was testifying in opposition to the bill when Barbieri asked the question. Madsen replied that would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina.
The committee approved the bill 13-4 on a party-line vote. Barbieri, who sits on the board of a crisis pregnancy center in northern Idaho, voted in favor of the legislation.

GOP Obamacare Replacement Guts Birth Control, Abortion, And Maternity Coverage
The GOP is offering an alternative to Obamacare, in case the Supreme Court decimates the law this summer. The Republican plan eliminates coverage for birth control, bans tax credits for plans that cover abortion, and lets insurance companies decide if they ant to offer maternity coverage. Welcome to Republican family values.
Because Republicans have nothing better to do than try to repeal Obamacare for the zillionth time, they’ve introduced their own new replacement health care bill -- the Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment (CARE) Act.
The Republican "replacement" health care bill was introduced by Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI), who describe it as “a legislative plan that repeals Obamacare and replaces it with common-sense, patient-focused reforms that reduce health care costs and increase access to affordable, high-quality care.”
The new bill replaces Obamacare with a plan that doesn’t require individuals to buy health care coverage or require employers to offer it. It returns the regulation of health insurance to the states, and gives individuals tax credits to help them afford health care.
