Uterus! Uterus! Uterus!

[walldude]

OMFG I cannot believe this shit. From C&L:

During a debate over a bill that would prohibit governments from deducting union dues out of a worker's paycheck last week, Florida state Rep. state Rep. Scott Randolph (D) argued that Republicans seem to only be against regulations when it comes to big business.

In his speech on the state House floor, Randolph even suggested that his wife could "incorporate her uterus" if it would stop the GOP from passing more restrictive abortion laws.

Republican leadership scolded the Democratic congressman, telling him that talk about body parts was unwelcome.

I have to say, the line about Republicans only protecting women's rights if they incorporated their uterus is frakin' brilliant. But being a squeamish bunch, a Republican took Randolph aside and actually pulled the "won't someone think of the children?" excuse, telling him that the young pages and interns didn't need to hear that kind of nasty talk.

I'm sure using even clinical terms make Republicans feel uncomfortable down there. It's a damn shame they're not equally as squeamish making laws to put the government right into women's uteri.


So let me get this straight, Uterus, is now an unacceptable term to use in front of Republicans and Children.

These people were actually elected to office. We're fucked..... Really Fucked.... Fucked.

Oh and that line about incorporating her uterus is fucking hilarious.

"No one, and I mean no one, is to stone anyone, until I blow this whistle. Even if, and I want to make myself very clear, even if, they do say UTERUS!"

1. It's because Republicans don't believe in biological birth

You see, it's a MIRACLE OF GOD

Nothing scientific going on there so stop saying that...

2. Uterus Inc., Big Ute, Uter Pac, Ute Co.

Vote yes on Uterus!


This is truly one of the stupidest things I've heard the R's do.
Ashcroft covering the naked breasts of the statue of Justice, maybe.

Body parts? What about livers, or pancreas, or hearts, like a uterus, these are INSIDE of the body parts.
What makes the uterus the nasty one?

3. Back in the day people winced if you said "pregnant." "With child"

or "expecting" was approved in "nice society." My brother balked at this sanitation and at the dinner table said that "knocked up" worked also. Mother turned quite ashen....LOL..

7. Isn't Uterus out there between Saturn and Neptune?

Well, tell that to the Repukes, anyway. ;-)

8. I was raised by one of these people.

I said Penis once in front of my mother, in a completely innocuous manner, and she slapped me in the face. They didn't show their true colors until after they were elected, I guarantee it!

10. Bimpkins! Bring me my finest clutching pearls

And roll out the good fainting couch! There's work to be done. Republican work. I must pretend to take umbrage at the word "uterus," and I don't wish to bollix it up. Would someone be so kind as to fan me when I am overcome with the vapors at such talk before children? Oh Mr. Foley! Can you please round up the interns and--wait. Perhaps we should ask someone else to take charge of the interns.

11. He should have said, VAGINA! That would have made their heads explode on the spot

12. I agree: talking about intimate body parts on the State floor is most unwelcome

so please stop talking about the intimate body parts of my gender and start talking about JOBS, FFS.:grr:

15. Naming anatomy parts is not profane, it is our first amendment right

-uterus, penis, scrotum, labia--are we adults or in the first grade?! Next they will start burning Gray's Anatomy books.

One of my many beefs with the RW is their dumbed down style of discourse, the only way to go along with their talking points and policies is to be very child like. They wish to keep people in a state of arrested development, before the age of reason apparently.
