53. Some still do.

I know you said, "probably," and I'm not disagreeing with you, but there are still a fair amount of women over 50 who still have their menstrual cycles and need obstetrical services (although, yes, most women who are still in their "child-bearing" years either don't want a baby at that age or consider it too risky too attempt, so in that, they may need some, ahem, "abortive" services.).

The fact remains is that this "representative" doesn't know jack squat about women. It's amazing to me that any woman outside of the 1 percent ever even considers voting Republican. Sigh.
