"I'm Flattered that You're All So Interested in My Vagina But No Means No"

I love this woman.  Representative Lisa Brown has been banned indefinitely from speaking on the house floor because she used the word "vagina" when ripping apart Michigan's new abortion law. 

The new law would ban abortion across the board after 20 weeks WITH NO EXCEPTION FOR THE MOTHER'S LIFE.  And if your fetus died you would have to carry it to term.  Classy, right?

I love the three men in the back laughing it up during her speech.  F*ckers.

local government officials are doing things like dragging women 7-months pregnant with a second child to forced abortions, because their families could not pay the heavy fine required for having a second child.

I do agree that straight men have been intimidated by women's sexuality but I also think that they are also imtimidated by how far women have come since they have entered the workforce and, in many instances, are the head of their families. 
I think that so much of this concern with women's reproductive parts comes from the fact that so many women are getting along. More women are graduating from collage and with high grade point averages. They have entered and are established in professional fields that were once male only. Most straight men (especially old, white men) are scared shitless and an unintended pregnancy is the best way to put a woman into poverty. It is always more expensive to feed, clothe and provide healthcare for two instead of one.
It is a scramble for a scarce resource = JOBS. For the most part, women work harder and more efficiently than men-- we don't think about sex every five seconds and our egos are a little smaller (this was actually told to me by a male co-worker as to why he hires middle-aged women).

Incredible

Who has the authority to 'ban' anyone from expressing herself freely and appropriately? 'Vagina' isn't a curse word. What a sick world we live in, when nasty, narrow-minded religious fanatics make the laws!

It's not the whole world

Just a part of the USA that's not worth visiting anymore.

Not the whole world

Good point, Jake. There are many counter-examples of sanity and compassion on the planet. Most of them are not to be found in the Michigan legislature, but they're out there nevertheless.
