New Hampshire State Rep. Peter Hansen (R) told the Concord Monitor that he was just trying to emphasize a point when he used “vagina” as a synonym for “woman” in an email to the full House earlier this month.
Hansen wrote an email to his colleagues arguing that “children and vagina’s” were missing from a fellow representative’s anecdotes during the debate over whether to repeal New Hampshire’s 2011 “stand your ground” law.
