A lawmaker was barred from speaking on the floor of the Michigan state legislature for saying “vagina” during a heated debate over abortions. House Republicans blocked Democratic Rep. Lisa Brown for her remark during a speech blasting the controversial bill that would restrict abortions after 20 weeks, according to The Detroit News.
“Finally, Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means ‘no,’” Brown said at the end of her speech Wednesday.
A spokesman for Michigan Speaker James Bolger said in a statement that Brown would not be allowed to give her opinion on a school employee retirement bill Thursday because she had “failed to maintain the decorum of the House of Representatives…”
Brown defended her right to say “vagina” at a press conference Thursday, arguing that it’s the “anatomically, medically correct term. “If I can’t say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas?” Brown asked…
In her remarks Wednesday, Brown argued that the abortion regulation bill would violate her Jewish faith, which permits therapeutic abortions when the mother’s life is at risk.
“I have not asked you to adopt and to adhere to my religious beliefs. Why are you asking me to adopt yours?” Brown asked.
At least we know what Republicans are truly afraid of. Body parts.
What a bunch of pussies.
What a bunch of dicks?!
“At least we know what Republicans are truly afraid of. Body parts.”
Not just any body parts, it’s the va-jay-jay that frightens them Eideard.

Ya beat me to it.
What a bloody bunch of cunts, or are they a bunch of bloody cunts.
Its the anatomical term for a pussy, a cunt, a box, a snatch, a disk sleeve … you can’t get more anatomically correct than calling it a vagina.
She’s even got one.
What a fuckin’ bunch of fuckin’ hypocrites.
Republikans get as much (dis)respect as they deserve. Maybe not enuff, yet.
Does it seem like Teadud’s whiny ramblings are more incoherent than usual?
He gets like this sometimes. Some say he runs low on meds.
Nope
He’s got, uh, problems.
He’s never been near a lady’s nether region except for that one time, and the police got called, and … well let’s just say that she got a restraining order and now he’s a registered sex offender.
Excuse him… He gets the vapors whenever the, uh, issue manages to break through the aversion conditioning.
Its a form of self-flagellation but he goes to ome porno sites and jerks off until his eyes start to bleed.
Pity the jerk… But don’t shake hands with him. Yuck….
I kinda gag a little when I hear that word too. I’m with the Republipukes on this one. Something less medical sounding and not too descriptive.

You skipped number 12.

Please, nothing with the word taco in it. I live in Texas and I like texmex!
You won’t be eating tacos today.

She should have called it a doohickey.
That would have been acceptable to squeamish Republicans.
Hey, that reminds me… could you please pass me that doohickey? That’s if you are finished with it.
Just because her religion permits it, that doesn’t make it a violation to ban it. My religion permits driving 100 mph on the highway.
Now if her religion mandated it, she would have a point.
With logic like that she should be thrown out of the legislature.
Funny how many colleges put up performances of The Vagina Monologues, and famous actresses will perform it, and Hillary Clinton even wrote a foreword for one edition.
Yet the book has the line ‘if it was rape, it was a good rape’, celebrating the rape of a girl by her teacher.
The problem is that Brown was just trying to be edgy, create controversy. HER vagina was not the topic of converstation, it was about a fetus in a womb. Lets have a man talk about his penis on the floor with regard to protate cancer and see what happens to him.
Of course she should be censored, completely out of line.
Democratic Rep. Barb Byrum was also blocked from addressing the Republican-controlled legislature Thursday.
The House forbid Byrum from introducing her amendment to the abortion bill, which would have banned men from getting a vasectomy unless they could provide proof that it was a medical emergency.
“If we truly want to make sure children are born, we would regulate vasectomies,” Byrum said Thursday.
Brown and Byrum were both silenced from speaking on the legislature’s final day of session before its summer break.
Regulating vasectomies seems fair to me.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Of course, the word “testicles” should be banned from the debate.
They should be referred to as “thingamajigs.”
I honestly can’t believe these people are considered professionals. I also can’t believe they suckered the public to elect them…..Actually I take that last part back.
Even though I’m pretty hard line on abortion, I could at least respect the position that life ends with the lack of brain activity, therefore it begins with brain activity. That is logical, that would lead me to believe that these people are actually using their brains. To think that a 3 month old fetus is ‘still a part of the woman’s body’ is flipping rediculous.
I don’t recall that being one of the 7 words not allowed on TV.
Peace,
Sheila

Sheila, I am sure your are a sweet girl and everything, but I for one do not have any interest in returning to the Bronze Age and living like a pre-industrial human.
I enjoy my air conditioner and LED lights and refrigerator and cell phone and laptop computer.
I have a nice half-acre with a cabin and a garden and fruit trees.
I know you expect a complete collapse of modern society, and I suppose it could happen, but many folks have been predicting such an event for more than 100 years.
If it happens, it happens. I would prefer not to survive a cataclysmic collapse of modern society. I am sure the Bronze Age was good fun and all that, but I expect to hang on to a more positive attitude for a while longer.
Come on, think of all the CO2 emissions reduced. And you will save money!
eeewww. That’s icky.
Weren’t liberals complaining that Rush Limbaugh used the word slut?
