Michigan State Rep Barred From Speaking After 'Vagina' Comments

frankly the no means no part is worse, as that implies a rape attempt.

vagina.

The Republicans have not said they were barred for the word 'vagina'. It very well could be the rape reference. Or her religious statements for that matter.

If it was for the rape reference it would be slightly more understandable but only as it would move the bar from full retardation to partial retardation.

I expect much more grandstanding from both parties over this issue. I can't wait for the political ads about this :\
 
As a Straight Male, I find her Vagina interesting and would allow her to talk about it at length. Hell, how about a Special Committee about it?
 
Except that's a false equivalency, but you already knew it.

i thought you were pro-abortion... or is that just pro- forced abortion dictated by men rather than pro- voluntary abortion chosen by women?

Why should the woman have the sole decision?

If the state wants to mess with abortion (my personal opinion is that it's between the patient and the doctor and everyone else can fuck off,) they need to recognize that, perhaps, maybe the guy wants the kid. Or maybe the guy doesn't want to have to pay for the kid.

Why can't the guy determine whether the woman has an abortion?

I mean, after all, it's not like we care about the fact that an unborn child will die.

Because the guy doesn't have to carry the fetus to term? I suppose you think that's a walk in the park, right? Why don't you jam a softball up your ass for nine months and then shit it out and get back to us.

If it's unborn it cannot die as it is not yet alive. I can understand the concern of a male in the situation wanting a say in the abortion. However so long as men are unable to get pregnant, it is not their body that is being affected by a pregnancy.

Because the father will not be forced to work WITH HIS BODY for the next 18 supporting the result of the pregnancy :hmm:
 
Maybe I am just old fashioned but I prefer my news to be a bit more professional than:

Yes, because the language in the article detailing this ignorant attempt to censor this elected female rep, that's the real atrocity. 🙄
 
I did not realize that everyone that has a child has to mine coal to pay for it.

Coal mining is but one obvious example. Unless you are Mitt Romney and can just let the money roll into your bank account while out fishing, you have to work for it.

The keys on the keyboard do not press themselves.

Spoken like a true small government, free speech, free market proponent! Yup, no screaming hypocrisy on your part. ()🙂

I was not advocating for small government.
 
The US is going to hell clinging on to the religion they want to be a state religion.

It's going to get pretty fucking ugly, SA-version of ugly.

Good luck with your new fundamentalist goals.

I agree. There is going to be a big fight as the liberals try to install islam as the state religion of the US.
 
lol and here if they didn't decide to censor her and ban her from speaking we wouldn't know about it. Now its in the papers and news.

they are idiots. she didn't say anything wrong.

While i have seen the threat that fundamentalist Islamists present first hand i am fairly sure that it will come down to Christianity vs reason in the US.

In the UK, it will get worse.

Well, normal men like you or me don't mind vaginas but there are those that want to ban them, like in Somaliland and Arizona.

Yeah, they are not sane human beings at all.
 
How can they even do this legally? That's a state Rep, its her job to speak when she feels the need. Short of dropping f bombs everytime she talks, exactly how does what she said warrant any kind of censure?

The real point is that they don't want her opinion to be spoken because they disagree with her.
