Here’s more from Media Matters:

Neither Walgreens, nor its in-store healthcare clinics, Take Care Clinics, offer pap smears or breast exams,” Take Care Clinic spokeswoman Lauren Nestler told Media Matters after being emailed the segment.

The clinics, which are a subsidiary of Walgreens, offer health services like flu vaccines and blood pressure screening at 350 Walgreens stores.

Fox & Friends’ false claim about pap smears is the latest in a series of attempts by conservatives to dismiss the importance of Planned Parenthood for women’s health services. As Steve Benen noted, “Republicans, like their cable news network, would like the public to believe the preventative health services provided by Planned Parenthood aren’t especially necessary or worthy of funding, since they’re readily available everywhere — as if every block in America has a Starbucks, an ATM, and screenings for cervical cancer. Except, that’s ridiculous, Fox News lying about it, ironically, only helps underscore the value of Planned Parenthood clinics.”

Do these morons know what a vagina is? What a uterus it is?  Maybe they really don’t know what goes on down there, and that’s why they are so afraid to say the word “uterus” or even think about uteri.  Maybe they simply don’t know what it takes to maintain them (and I’m not talking waxing and vagazzling – either.)

I think we need to call for a “National Introduce Your Vagina to a Republican Day.”  Maybe then these idiots will stop viewing vaginas as caves of wonderment and give them the damn respect they deserve.

Just walk up to a Teabilly and say “Hi. I’d like to introduce you to my vagina.” Then just give a little ten minute history of it — what its likes and dislikes are. What needs to be done to keep it healthy. Talk to them about your uterus and what it means to you. For those who don’t have them anymore, talk about that. That’ll really blow their minds.

Maybe we should ask our white sisters to take the lead. Bieber knows Republicans aren’t quite ready to deal with VOCs yet. We don’t want to shock them to death — or

maybe we do?

Well, whatever — we can hash out the deets later.  But, the first rule of “National Introduce Your Vagina to a Republican Day” has to be “NO TOUCHING!!” –

– You don’t want to get Teabilly cooties on your cooch.

  1. VOC? Oh, my, ABL. I would love to watch as you lectured a Lipton Tea ‘bagger on the proprieties of uteri care!

  2. Colbert cracking up is priceless. Republicans discussing girly part is not.

    If I didn’t think I’d get some very odd looks I’d go into my local Walgreen’s and ask how much for a pap smear. Because spreading my legs in a drug store is high on my list of good ideas.
