about vaginas

They are sheer magic and can do a lot of things

vote

shut down/release a magic secretion to avoid pregnancy -Pennsylvania State Rep. Stephen Freind, March 1988. and Georgia Rep. -Phil Gingrey, January 2013. -AFA’s Bryan Fischer --Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, August 2012 -Arkansas Republican Fay Boozman, 1988

dries up to prevent pregnancy -North Carolina Rep. Henry Aldridge, April 1995.

as you said, opens wide so when a male trips, his penis can enter and ejaculate

a shot of estrogen is somehow a cure for when a man trips and falls into a vagina --Ron Paul, February 2012.

When you marry, the man owns your vagina. -Arizona State Rep. Warde Nichols, March 2005. -Phyllis Schlafly, March 2007.

because of my vagina:

I am too dumb to make medical decisions so the government has to deny me choices

pharmacists and doctors can refuse to offer me any medical treatment based on their values

Doctors can lie to me about my medical condition, if they think I might make choices they don't agree with.

hospitals can deny me a full range of medical care, when a man accidentally falls into my vagina

I actually understand this one. Seeing on how we insist on using our vaginas to vote.
