According to the report, the former Montana House leader who is now running for a seat in the state Senate passed along what he heard in an email to over 100 of his colleagues at a time when conservative lawmakers in deep red states are making up new laws banning abortion.

The Tribune reports, "Tschida told the Daily Montanan he did not remember the name of the podcast. According to the email, which was sent to more than 100 legislators, the woman responded that there is only one organ in a woman’s body 'that is not there to serve a purpose for her and that is her womb'."

*******************************************

My appendix apparently serves no particular purpose, but when my doctor tells me it's causing a problem and my life if in danger, then I'm entitled to emergency care.

And it's none of your damned business anyway.

1. m response to Tshida

and how is this relevant to anything... you fucking idiot... go away

[elias7]

2. And if he had testicles, I would say the same to him.

[vlyons]

3. good grief !!!

The stupidity, insensitivity, disregard for the value of others from such people.

You know what? Women's lives matter.

4. It seems like I have nothing to say to about 80% of more of posts re: the RW on DU...

It is too angering/depressing to address the topic and to do so stays with me all day. How did we get here that a minority of the most ignorant Americans can have such inordinate power over the rest of us?

5. Every damn time some politician says the word

womb, they should be told the word is “uterus.”

They only use “womb” because it’s warmer, fuzzier word.

[Delmette2.0]

14. The word uterus is clinical, medical and accurate.

Womb is from the bible and old fashioned.

It proves where their education on the subject comes from.

[DFW]

6. But, but, but...

These people are all members of the God Squad. If their god put wombs inside a woman's body, and that god never makes mistakes, then women having wombs was obviously part of the divine plan, wasn't it?

7. Clearly, Rep. Tschida's head doesn't serve any purpose.

Blooming idiot.

[spooky3]

13. Good one! Nt

[durablend]

8. The entire Republican party 'serves no specific purpose' to the planet

[scarletlib]

9. Mens testicles have no purpose in their bodies either.

The male animal can live a full and happy life without them. Plenty of cats , dogs , horses, cattle ,etc prove that point.

These men are so stupid it is beyond my comprehension.

[Farmer-Rick]

21. Exactly this.

We each get specific sex organs that serve no purpose but to reproduce. It doesn't make them sanctuaries.

In their religious idiocy, they are trying to give magical significance to a biological function. It's not magical.

10. So why the hormones prescribed after a hysterectomy ?

[halfulglas]

17. The hormones prescribed are to prevent premature aging of the body.

They are prescribed when in addition to a hysterectomy an oophorectomy is performed, removal of the ovaries. The hormones secreted by the ovaries help regulate the calcium in the bones, and a lot of other things the rest of the body needs even without the uterus.

[rickford66]

20. So, the lady parts have some function for the woman.

That was the point of my post. I knew the effects of a total hysterectomy.

[LiberalFighter]

11. Schools that do a poor job of educating their students should lose their credentials.

And students that can't pass basic biology should not receive a high school degree.

[blogslug]

12. Whoo hoo! Hysterectomies and Tubal Ligations for everybody!

No more being refused these procedures just because some doctor says the patient is "of child-bearing" age, right Mr. Tschida?

[Ford_Prefect]

15. Such is the quality of Montana GOP leadership and the party as a whole. Arrogant, Stupid, and Mean.

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Duuuuuude, without a uterus you wouldn't have made it into the world.

Unless you were a test-tube baby.

[Lonestarblue]

18. One way to solve the abortion issue is to force every male to have a reversible vasectomy at age 16.

I’m sure those Christian radicals who want to lock women up for having an abortion or who think it’s perfectly fine to force them to wear electronic ankle monitors like prisoners would be perfectly fine with this solution—NOT. That would interfere with their belief that men have a God-given right to rape and force women to procreate when women have other ideas.

[Arazi]

26. Vasectomies at 10 yrs. If girls are being forced to have babies at 10 yrs old...

[h2ebits]

19. The hatred of women and themselves is just pouring out of the mouths of politicians. . . .

And we need to strongly fight back against this minority. It's like slow poison infecting the country.

[delisen]

22. My "creator" gave me a uterus so I could have a choice. This is the essence of free will.

I can choose to use my uterus for reproduction or not. I can choose to reproduce once, twice, many times, or never. This is the essence of choice.

This Montana Man was not supplied with a uterus by his creator and therefore he has no choice about the use of a uterus. His creator did not give him a choice, and Montana Man, in disrespect of his creator and lacking in self-discipline gives in to anger and jealousy and tries to take away my choice.

[Deuxcents]

23. Very well said..

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. If the state is going to take over the uterus, it owes the woman just compensation.

The 13th Amendment prohibits slavery and indentured servitude. The radicalized Republican party is trying to enslave women as state incubators. If they want to use eminent domain to take over control of the uterus of a woman or girl, then they must provide just compensation as stated in the 5th Amendment.

The Subversive 6 upended law, precedent, and logic. Their unqualified asses shat on jurisprudence while they vomited their extremist ideology.

[Hekate]

25. Neither do his testicles. He can live just fine without them.
