Lawmaker disciplined for abortion bill comment to perform 'Vagina Monologues'

[Shadow]

Where do they find these activist crackpots?


The Michigan Democratic lawmaker who was prevented from speaking on the House floor after referring to her "vagina" during debate over an anti-abortion bill reportedly plans to protest by performing "The Vagina Monologues" on the steps of the state Capitol.
According to The Detroit News (http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120616/POLITICS02/206160347/1409/METRO/Silenced-legislator-perform-Monologues-Capitol-steps)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/all/img/external-link.png, state Rep. Lisa Brown will join other Democratic lawmakers as well as playwright Eve Ensler for a reading of Ensler's famous play in Lansing, Mich.
The move comes after she was disciplined by Republican House leaders for her comments during debate about an anti-abortion bill that would put new restrictions on abortion doctors.
"I'm flattered you're all so concerned about my vagina. But no means no," Brown said at the time.
Brown was silenced during floor debate Thursday for the comment, as Republicans described the behavior as inappropriate.

I thought educated people were supposed to know the difference between a useful debate and snarky rhetoric just meant to enflame and shut down discussions. Apparently she is just another attention seeker looking for her 15 minutes.

Today's politicians are only worried about re-election during a popularity contest. Useful debate and snarky rhetoric is what a LOT of people repsond to.

Guess that's true...makes for good bumper stickers and picket signs.

I'm willing to hear more about her vagina.

Has she started a 1-900 phone sex business yet? :thumb:

Uh...that's what she is hoping for. Maybe you could attend her protest. I would watch out for a lot of angry feminists and their picket signs though if I were you.

ha! If they would hit taft over the head a few times there it would just excite him more!:laugh:
For he is a very excitable boy and quite proud of it..;)
Just dont get him going on a rant about anything for he tends to be too high minded for my tastes with his insults.:laugh2: I like 'em easier to understand..:beer:
A certain somebody here had better stay well clear of him in my opinion as he aint a gentle soul like me..-- :laugh2:-Tyr

High minded? Yeah...you find that a lot on the internet. Lot's of Frazier(ish) lingo...and snobbish attitudes. Everyone is a rhodes scholar. So far I have not gotten that vibe from your friend...but I will keep my eye on him just incase. ;)

[Thunderknuckles]

That sums it up nicely.
Who knows, a recital of the Vagina Monologues may become the modern form of bra burning.

His post was meant to be humor. At least I take it that way. Granted some people may not share such humor but the post does not indicate that he is a perv.
Keep an eye on him if you like but to me he is quite entertaining at times.-Tyr

I would not care to hear anything that creature cares to say about her hockybox or any other subject.--Tyr

[taft2012]

Well, y'all started to make me nervous so I did a total inventory evaluation of my porn collection, all the way from "Armpit Amores" to "Zooland Follies" (volumes I through XII) and everything looks in order.

So no, I am not perv.

[gabosaurus]

I totally understand. Republicans are the anti-vagina party.

No, we just happen to know what vaginas are for: men and making babies. :thumb:

They weren't designed to accommodate Janet Reno's big toe.

Yes...we women of the current age are supposed to break out or mirrors and get in touch with our vaginas don't you know. It's the new form of enlightenment. :thumb:

That's the way I took it too. I was kidding with the perv comment. :)

Hockybox? That's a new one. LOL At any rate...it's probably all been said before anyway. I'm sure they have their script handy at all times.

See the above about vagina enlightenment. Women apparently need to use them for empowerment...

Funny Kenneth Starr wasn't censured for his interest in a certain elected official's reproductive organ...

A bit different. Kenneth Starr was a special prosecuter following the guidelines of the Independant council act. And was initially investigating Vince Foster's death and Whitewater. Could he help it if Clinton's misconduct was so obvious it was brought to light? Hello...the man was a known hound dog for years prior. It was bound to catch up with him sooner or later. Much like John Edwards past did...when will they ever learn.

It's not like Ken Starr was forming a protest and singing the praises of his own organ. ;)

Clinton's curious cigar technique have something to do with Vince foster and whitewater? Probably as much as whomever's vajayjay has to do with abortion law. That's all I'm saying. different circumstance perhaps; but equally irrelevant to the discussion.

[gabosaurus]

It's perfect OK for men to run around talking about how huge their dicks are. It's a contest on Capital Hill, to be sure. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, men remain very uptight when the subject of vaginas comes up. Since women are only good for cooking, cleaning and screwing. And should keep their mouths shut the whole time.
Conservatives have always been known for being really uptight about sex. They are OK with torture, massacres and brain splattering, but let the subject of labia and menses come up and they will go screaming for the censure.
Sorry dudes, but sexual pleasure goes two ways. And if you don't want to know about our bodies, stop making laws governing them.

When I was on another board, a friend of mine worked for the government in Louisiana. One of the most uptight states in the Union. She always wanted to bring a Tampon Gun to legislative sessions and shoot idiots who stupid, ignorant comments about women.

Well...let that be a lesson to people who lie. If you tell the truth the first time...no digging,prying and extra drama needed.

As for the monologues about this nitwits vajayjay...yes they are irrelevant...just a ploy to play the victim and shut down discussions for media attention.

Yep...real mature and so much more enlightened.:rolleyes:


Again. I thought the educated were allegedly better than this (they keep telling us they are)...guess not.

[ConHog]

so to recap:

watching porn instead of paying attention to the discussion about the bill being presented like you should be ? THat's cool

Mentioning a vagina in a debate about sexual reproduction? Not cool.

Your ATTEMPTED flame aside, as usual I am NOT wrong.

One politician is caught viewing porn while in session nothing done, another politician mentions a vagina during her speech and she is shut down. Those are facts.

Your attempt to whine aside...your need to assign thoughts to others is again a complete fail. You would think you would stop that.

Ken Starr wouldn't have been able to do anything if a certain POTUS hadn't lied under oath about the activities his reproductive organ engaged in.

In the event you feel that lie did not rise to the level of misconduct, it did manage to impress the Arkansas Bar Association, which disbarred Bubba ... a ruling independent of the independent prosecutor.

[Nell's Room]

Republicans seem to forget that abortion involves a vagina. Of course, many Republicans also think that a 6 week old embryo looks exactly like a miniature baby instead of the cluster of cells it actually is.

Ive yet to understand what his reproductive organ had to do with the Starr investigation... Are BJ's in the public interest? That was my point in drawing a comparison with OP reference to whomever's vagina.

For the same reason John Edwards affair was dragged to the court. It pertained to their ethics violations. Why the gory details? Just part of the process when each side presented evidence.

As for the public? Because they eat this kind of shit up. See reality TV. And the Media LOVES getting down in the mud. Good for business.
