VAGINA. [Warning: Content Censored in Michigan.]
Fresh from the department of "you can't make this stuff up":
Last week, anti-choice legislators in the Michigan House passed a bill that puts a whole bunch of new restrictions on a woman's right to safe, legal abortion care.
Pro-choice Rep. Lisa Brown spoke out against the bill, but was gaveled "out of order" for saying "vagina." The anti-choice leadership then banned her from speaking for the rest of the week.
It seems that, while the Michigan House can restrict women's reproductive-health care, uttering the word "vagina" is cause for punishment.
So allow me to share a few words with our readers in Michigan: vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina.
Our friends at NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin saw the connection between what's going on in the Michigan House and what goes on at the ballot box:
And, as luck would have it, Mitt Romney is visiting Michigan today. (It's his home state, and his father was once the governor there.) He's stopping by the Sweetie-licious Bakery for some delicious confections.
Does Gov. Romney agree with the anti-choice Michigan House leadership? Does he think women lawmakers should be silenced for saying "vagina"?
Well, let's ask him.
.@MittRomney: Do you think women lawmakers should be silenced for saying #vagina in debate over #antichoice bill? #MI

Obrigado, my friends!
Has anyone looked this word up. It is in the dictionary and not a cuss word. It is anatomy of the human body what are these men so afraid of.
Have these people forgotten this word is in the dictionary and is part of the human anatomy not a cuss word. What are they so afraid of.
As I wrote in my message to the Michigan legistalors last week, if you don't like the word "vagina", stay out of them.
The part of human anatomy is the vagina, along with bones,skin kidneys etc. I guess their mined was in their pants, and what they did with the vagina. You have to pull your mine out of your pants to remember it is just a part of the body and in the dictionary.
It makes me wonder just how many they have used in their life time and bet it was a lot. This is from a 83 year old woman, who thought nothing of teaching her children the parts of the body, as they grew up.
Like a professor I had once who said "if you teach the parts of a bicycle and stumble over the wards you can make it sound dirty" He was right. They should not have censored The rep. who said the ward vagina , it is not a dirty ward, unless arm or leg is also.
