Amy Schumer Attacks Anti-Choice Republicans In Hilarious New Sketch (video)

Whenever Amy Schumer has aimed to make a feminist statement, she’s hit her mark perfectly. She’s back on television for the fourth season of her Comedy Central show “ Inside Amy Schumer ,” and she’s delivered another spot-on sketch about the GOP’s never-ending war on women, and the absurdity of male politicians making personal decisions for women.
For the show’s premiere, Schumer opened with a hilariously accurate skit about women’s healthcare. During the sketch, Amy is at her OBGYN’s office to get her pap smear when she realizes that instead of her gynecologist, she’ll be seen by four politicians from a fictitious House Committee on Women’s Health.

Schumer demands to know where the real doctor is, and one of the congressmen replies with the very logic that has been used by several GOP lawmakers: “We’re the House Committee on Women’s Health! So I think we have a better idea than a bunch of science-y nerdles.”

The four fake congressmen then pull out clipboards and bombard Schumer with a bunch of misogynistic questions about her sex life and vaginal health. They shame Schumer’s sexual history, call her menstruation cycle a “lady curse” and refer to tampons as “blood diapers.” One politician is completely silent during the whole thing, aside from randomly inserting “ew” as Schumer tells her ill-advised committee about her vagina or period.
