Vagina in the House! I said, Vagina in the House! Yesterday Michigan state rep Lisa Brown got all up in her fellow legislators' faces over their proposed abortion bill that imposes new regulations on abortion providers and bans all abortions after 20 weeks. She made a well-reasoned, passionate case about how she, as an observant Jewish woman would never force other people to live by her beliefs -- so why are conservative legislators trying to make all Michigan women live by theirs? And then she let loose the V-Bomb: And finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.' Burhurrhurr -- va-WHAT?!? That little aside got Brown banned from speaking on the floor. But she's not finished -- and neither are these other women.![]()
