And that only included live births, not miscarriages, stillbirths, or the fact that the most likely time for a woman to be battered and/or killed is when she is pregnant.

Yes.
So wait, a vote about reproductive health policy just so happened to come out in perfect accordance with political party affiliation?
WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!

Yes indeed, definitely, just as soon as she wants to abort her stomach! Or maybe her intestinal tract⌠I donât blame this asshole. I blame all the assholes who voted for him.
What is the problem? The republican party is the party of limited role of government in our lives. Personal liberty. Right?
Imagine if the republican party attempted to use government to control mensâ penises instead of just womensâ vaginas. I wonder how long that would last.
Barry Goldwater, the founder of republican conservatism, warned us all about the cancer of Jerry Falwell and the âMoral Majorityâ groups. The Jerry Falwell evangelicals had just left the democrat party during the Reagan revolution to join the republican party (and take it over). Barry Goldwater was then shut out of the republican party for daring to warn us that they were a cancer and that the GOP should not let them in. The GOP instead catered to the religious party (NO, they never were, and still arenât, a political party. They are exclusively a RELIGIOUS party). They are CINOs⌠Conservative in Name Only.
The republican party no longer advances republican values. Nor even family values. Against gay marriage? Against family?
If you want Ted Cruz to own your vagina, or want Mark Rubio to tell your wife or girlfriend what she can and cannot do with her vagina and internal organs, vote republican. After 25 years of being a devout Barry Goldwater conservative libertarian republican, I have become an enemy of the republican party. They no longer represent the values I have long cherished.

Just how big are those cameras/transducers?
Itâs a quite harsh thing, hormonally. Plus the low but existing rate of complications.
Absolutely no contest here.
I explicitly said I consider it the lowest-risk, least-bad, option (for the inevitable cases where prevention fails) and am in favor of availability. I am agreeing with you. No need to be preemptively adversarial.
I did some, though likely not in such depth. Before I finished, the consultee reported the potential problem is confirmed a non-problem. Longer story, and the mistake involved was not even mine.
Since no one has said it yetâŚ
Fucking female reproductive systems, how do they work?

Itâs a quite harsh thing, hormonally.
What does this even MEAN? Periods are quite harsh things, hormonally. Christ, you have no idea what youâre talking about.
But thank you so much for taking the time to 'splain to me how abortions and âhormonesâ work and their effects on the female body even though you actually have no fucking idea how they work.
Just like rape. Youâre on a ROLL today.
âHormonally chargedâ ⌠are you even reading what you write? Jesus fuck. I know how hormones work. I really donât think you do.
âI was being rhetorical, because I was trying to make the point that
equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and
oranges⌠So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to
make her say that they werenât the same thing, and she did so. It was
the response I wanted.â
Yeah, the man is still an idiot.

What do you expect in a culture whose adults canât have an open, mature conversation about sexuality? He honestly didnât know because understanding vaginas is icky and immoral, everyone knows that.
I like the LOL suggestion - could be a smiley face 
This is what I thought. If we were working on technology to do a long distance self-service ultrasound, I would imagine that, rather than swallowing a device, you would hold the device a few inches below your navel. Swallowing would just make things harder, and not really get any close to the uterus.
I agree with you about the problem being how he votes and that we donât necessarily have a good reason to think heâs got the basic which-hole-connects-to-which structure confused. Based on the reading, Iâd even guess that he is telling the truth about making his rhetorical approach. On the other hand, that seems like a dirty argumentative tactic where he was trying to say, âWell, colonoscopies and abortions are differentâ without actually saying that so that he wouldnât be asked the question âOkay, but how is the difference between them important to this discussion?â Charitably, he had a rhetorical flourish that wouldnât stand up to substantive scrutiny. By making it he opened himself up to people thinking he doesnât know which hole connects to which. Iâm enjoying the petard hoist.
