Unbelievable. Michigan House Republicans "prohibited state Rep. Lisa Brown from speaking on the floor Thursday
after she ended a speech Wednesday against a bill restricting abortions
by referencing her female anatomy." She used the word vagina.
What? Is the Michigan House full of middle-schoolers who snicker at words that refer to female anatomy?
See the story here: "Lawmaker Barred from Speaking Over 'Vagina' Comment," Detroit News, 14 June 2012, reported by Chad Livengood.
And you can listen to her words here: "Rep. Lisa Brown speaks out against House attack on women's health."

I'm getting really tired of these Neanderthal attitudes towards women's bodies.
